Description Nigel Kukard 2010-01-15 10:21:01 UTC 
This is a qemu virtual server first of all.

Below pertains to vanilla 2.6.33-rc4.

Problem 1:
* If I generate the cpio myself and name it initramfs.cpio and include it as the source, I get an immediate reboot after "Freeing memory". This worked perfectly fine in all kernels prior to 2.6.30. I have not tried 2.6.30->2.6.32

Here is my command ...
fakeroot -- find . | cpio -o -H newc > ../initramfs.cpio


Problem 2:

* Below is the spew from a kernel tree generated initramfs included in kernel with BZIP2 compression

Comment 1 Nigel Kukard 2010-01-15 16:45:40 UTC 
This seems to happen with a 77Mb initramfs .cpio file

I just tried one that is 22Mb and it loads with no problem.

I've tested so far 2.6.33-rc4 and 2.6.32 with the same results.


qemu -kernel /tmp/bzImage -initrd /tmp/initramfs.cpio  -m 512 /dev/zero -serial file:/tmp/serial.log -append "console=ttyS0,9600 console=tty0"


Thats what I'm using to test.

I can confirm this bug in all new kernel versions.  The only recent kernel that it doesn't happen in is 2.6.27.54

I've tried the latest 2.6.32, 2.6.33, 2.6.34, 2.6.35, 2.6.36, 2.6.37, 2.6.38 kernels and they all do this.

Does anyone have a solution?
