[U-Boot-Users] Ramdisk larger than 8M causes problem

[Robert <xiaguowu@yahoo.com.cn>]

Hi,

    I am facing a problem that ,I built a ramdisk(16M)  larger than 8M,
the kernel couldn't start up correctly with this ramdisk , the filesystem
couln't be mounted and "kernel panic" happened. But if the ramdisk is 
smaller
 than or equal to 8M , it works fine. I tried the two method as what  the
website
(http://www.denx.de/wiki/view/DULG/RamdiskGreaterThan4MBCausesProblems)
 said. but it takes no effect.
Anybody gives me some hints?
Thanks in advance!
By the way ,I use u-boot-1.1.4 , and cpu core: arm926ej, Memory:128M
Here is the details:
