Using the 2.4.0 kernel and a kernel compiled with support for 4GB of
memory, mounting of the initial ramdisk fails when 1GB or more
of memory is installe dint he system.
There is no OOPS, it simply says, unable to mount root vfs, I ma
thinking the INITRD system cant handle the offset's involved in a big
mem machine, I have not worked with the vfs or init code before,
otherwise I would attempt to fix it myself.

I would appreicate any help I can get with this problem, this is the
second time I have reported it and I am responsible for getting it to
work ;)
