I tried to install the kernel image, but got this
---------------------
If you have already done so, and you wish to get rid of this message,
please put
`do_initrd = Yes'
in /etc/kernel-img.conf. Note that this is optional, but if you do not,
you'll continue to see this message whenever you install a kernel
image using initrd.
Do you want to stop now? [Y/n]n

When I tried to boot
RAMDISK: image too big!
Freeing initrd memory 14728k freed
VFS: Cannot open root drive hda1
at that point it panics because it cannot mount the drive.
Any idea why that initrd is 5 times as big as my other initrd?
