The ramdisk size allocated is too small. Pass ramdisk_size=32768 and you
should be ok, let me know if there are other problems.
[debian-boot: Is it possible to get this fixed for 3.1r1? I notice there
are a lot of drivers in the initrd that are entirely unlikely to be used
or work for the install. We need to either bump the ramdisk_size in the
kernel CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE, or drop some drivers from the install
media. For the sake of low memory systems, I'd suggest the latter, I can
help coordinate picking which drivers go in.]
