I would start by checking the kernel config. Make sure you have your |
| 24 |
drive chipset BUILT INTO the kernel and whatever drivers you use for the |
| 25 |
file system root is on also BUILT IN. Keep in mind, you can't build |
| 26 |
those as modules. They have to be in the kernel itself. |

As to the different sizes, not sure. Maybe someone who has seen that |
| 29 |
will have additional ideas. May be driver related, may be something else. |
