Hello,

I've been trying to boot a kernel and a preloaded md_image of about 128MB.

The kernel and image load, and then about a quarter of a second after the
kernel executes, before any text even prints, the machine reboots.

Has anyone had better luck with large md_image root filesystems?

Thanks,

-nick
