Do you use LVM, RAID or have btrfs-tools installed?
Yes. I do have lvm installed for the slug. So, that is a decent size hit...
Can you upload initrd.img-2.6.32-5-ixp4xx somewhere so I can have a look at it?
Sent to you separately.
I noticed that the kernel plus the initrd added up to about 7.9M and so it should fit. The exact values are: 6874 -rw------- 1 root root 7009337 Feb 18 10:45 initrd.img-2.6.32-5-ixp4xxThe 8 MB flash is divided into different partitions and the ramdisk partition is only 6 MB; see http://cyrius.com/debian/nslu2/boot.html
Thanks for the info. -jeff
