Are there known problems with large initrd when booting from 2.6.16 into
2.6.21? I can boot the Fedora kernel with a small initrd, but an initrd
of about 3.5M makes it crash. Without helpful output, of course.

This works...
segment[0].mem:0x16da000 memsz:8310784
segment[1].mem:0x1ec7000 memsz:16384
segment[2].mem:0x1ecb000 memsz:1114112
segment[3].mem:0x7bff000 memsz:4096


This doesn't...
segment[0].mem:0x16da000 memsz:8310784
segment[1].mem:0x1ec7000 memsz:16384
segment[2].mem:0x1ecb000 memsz:3436544
segment[3].mem:0x7bff000 memsz:4096
