I realize this is a very unique situation, but the initrd code breaks with
exactly 512M of RAM mapped from 0 to 512M:
Determined physical RAM map:
memory: 20000000 @ 00000000 (usable)
Initial ramdisk at: 0x8023a000 (629389 bytes)
initrd extends beyond end of memory (0x802d3a8d > 0x80000000)
Here is a little patch - instead of converting the PFN to a physical
address it converts the initrd_end to a PFN.
Thanks,
Jason
