I have a working Kernel with a NFS mounted root filesystem. I am trying to use my root file system, but with the use of initramfs. Compiling the kernel is not a problem, but when booting, I have the following error: "Insufficient memory for kernel at address 0!

It seems (from the .../arch/powerpc/boot/wrapper file) that this adress is calculated from the _start adress in the objfile. Is it possible to change this adress ? What can I do (with the idea of not reducing the size of my rootfs) ? Thanks in advance !
