yaboot large initrd again

[dicker]

Hi

I Tried to boot (according to the last message regarding this issue) with
git head - revert c8b04c614770870d75825c19bcd4729cc779b84a

Without reverting there is always a memory claim error, as complained by the
guy some threads down.

unfortunately my ramdisk is 100MB. I want to boot a QS21 Blade completely
into a ramdisk. Doing so yaboot stats:

[...]QS21 Normal Boot...

And thats it. Nothing anymore happens.
If I reduce the Ramdisk size to 16MB it continues booting, 17MB and it
stucks at the shown position.

Is it possible to boot a ramdisk that large?

thanks in advance, any help is welcome :)

regards,
Julian
