Webb19 feb. 2004 · Bug 116311 - Grub refuses to load initrd claiming it does not fit in memory. THe recent versions of grub are no longer willing to load the initrd from 2.6 kernels claiming they are too big to fit in memory! Of course, this is pretty bogus - the grub image is about 650K compresses, 8M uncompresses and the machine has 16GB or RAM. Webb14 nov. 2002 · Dear all, I am converting a redhat 7.3 server to LVM.

Webb3 feb. 2010 · “The initrd is too big,” it said, quite politely. I see elsewhere on the Internet where BIOS settings can come into play, but this time it might be that the initrd is just too big. How big can it be? I thought, and transplanted the drive (again … swapping drives is the story of my life) in an effort to find out. And the answer was 40Mb. Good grief. WebbWhen using initrd, the system typically boots as follows: the boot loader loads the kernel and the initial RAM disk. the kernel converts initrd into a “normal” RAM disk and frees the memory used by initrd. if the root device is not /dev/ram0, the old (deprecated) change_root procedure is followed. see the “Obsolete root change mechanism ... WebbCompiling everything into the kernel quickly makes a kernel thats too big and makes for a sluggish system. This theoretical kernel would be really bad for cache coherency and so forth if the whole thing has to be loaded at once but only tiny subsections are used in practice. So we try and load things as necessary, via udev. city of greater geraldton shire
