Subject:	grub and maximum kernel file size
Date:	Thu, 9 Apr 2009 06:57:08 +0200

hi,
i have a quite big initramfs, kernel size is approx. 5,7 MB. Adding new things 
to my initramfs does not work, because grub fails to load kernels with >6MB. 
so, does anybody know the exact limit of the kernel file size, that grub is 
able to load? is it platform-specific? 

TIA, florian
