I believe some other people are running the 2.6.32-5 kernel on their
NSLU2 so I'm wondering if you have some particular configuration that

btrfs-tools installed?
Can you upload initrd.img-2.6.32-5-ixp4xx somewhere so I can have a
look at it?

The 8 MB flash is divided into different partitions and the ramdisk
partition is only 6 MB; see http://cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/boot.html
