I can properly boot the system in the simulator from NFS, but when I try to build an initramfs from my NFS filesystem and attach that to the simulator with --initrd xxx then the kernel seems to hang after having extracted the initramfs and then freed the memory - it stops doing anything after saying "Freeing init memory".
I have created the initramfs by just doing a
find ./ | cpio -o -H newc | gzip > ./initrd.cpio.gz
in the directory which is my NFS filesystem. Isn't that sufficient?

But it does manage to unpack it and then frees the memory, doesn't it? So I was thinking it must be something wrong with the filesystem. But anyway, memory is definitely an issue - does the Fast Model only support up to 1G of RAM? Jess
