I tried again using 2.6.18-4-amiga instead, but it seems I am using the
wrong ramdisksize. I started with 9000, now I am at 1000000, but I always
gget messages like these, with "want" = 4 * "limit" + 8

ram0: rw=0, want=12891144, limit=3222784

Should I uncompress the initrd as well? Do I have to write the initrd to a
spare partition? Or is this initrd not compatibable with the kernel version?
