I tried 9000, 40000, with the same result.

I can not mount it. So if the uncompressed size is 6MB, the ramdisksize
should larger than 12000, 9000 is too small? I tried with 20000 with an
uncompressed ramdisk, same problem, it tries to access at 4*limit+8.
I guess the initrd is broken, there seems to be some garbage at the
beginning. Stephen, do you have a newer version of initrd?
