I started playing around with this again. I did a lot of things related to flush handling with no success. In the end I decided to shrink my kernel-image (I use tftpboot.img). When I finally squezed the kernel (including rootfs) to allow me to do the initial memory allocations in the memory area below 0xa00000 then I could boot. So the inital mapping is limited to 10MB... I need to find a way to extend the initial mapping without the need to access allocated memory. I have not looked at it yet - this is just a heads-up. PS. I did not do any test yet on my system as I had selected the wrong video driver (it hangs when it was supposed to shift displays).
