Subject: ramdisk on P3 vs Celeron failure!



Boot up using:
Loadlin-1.6a
Win98
ramdisk_size=18000
initrd=ram.gz (this is the gzip'ed root filesystem)


Kernel 2.2.x (up to 2.2.18)
- on P3 and Celeron
ram.gz must be <3862544 bytes

Kernel 2.4.x (up to 2.4.0-test12)
- on Celeron
ram.gz must be <3862544 bytes
- on P3
ram.gz has no such limit!!!


Failure I got was ...
System Halted
Less than 4MB!


Same ram.gz and bzimage tested on P3 and Celeron.
