    patches/2.6.35: added initramfs hack · fb59f3f4
    Alessandro Rubini authored
    This patch simply breaks the loop that uncompresses cpio.gz
    archives into initramfs. The default behaviour is to error out
    when no more valid data is there in the "initrd=start,size" area.
    Since we don't know in advance the exact size of the compressed
    initramfs when the kernel is being compiled, the command line in the
    WR switch shas 16M ("initrd=0x23000000,16777216") as a safe size.
    
    This patch prevents a panic and allos the system to boot with a
    smaller-than-expected cpio archive.
