yes indeed! i was not too clear about it, sorry! i did use the following RC2 image: Binary-1 20070317-20:34
You will need to increase the value for ramdisk_size.This needs to be done in the CD creation process and is being taken care of. If you download a new _daily_ image 24+ hours from now, it should be fixed. It would be great if you could test this and let us know.However, if the alpha boot manager allows you to change the value while booting (or even add an extra ramdisk_size= after the current one), you should be able to work around the problem with the current image to.Seems like the value should be 17108 or a bit more than that.
yes! i have just tried this... works great! its fantastic! now i proceeded with the following options @ SRM:
boot dka200 -fi boot/vmlinuz -fl "ramdisk_size=17108 initrd=/boot/initrd.gz root=/dev/ram devfs=mount,dall"
and it works just great! i'll complete the installation this weekend with a new image and i'll let you know.
thanks! fantastic job! well done! pablo
