Generating a initramfs with the following, one of about 30Mb, one of 77Mb.
find . | cpio -o -H newc > ../initramfs.cpio
Only difference is adding of more files to the 77Mb image.
It makes no difference if its compiled into kernel or used as initrd.
Compression types makes no difference either.
Tested on 2.6.32.3->2.6.33-rc4 , all fail with the below.
The 30Mb initramfs loads fine, the 77Mb image throws the following...

What are the exact compressed and uncompressed files (or is that an
uncompressed initramfs)?
Also, you're describing how to reproduce this with Qemu, but have you
tried with other bootloaders? Which version of Qemu (some versions of
the Qemu bootloaders had a lot of problems.)

Ok ... I revisited this, sorry for the delay, all tests done on kernel
2.6.33.1
(initramfs uploaded, link below)
It is generated using two commands...
find . | cpio -o --quiet -H newc -A -O ../initramfs.cpio
and the kernel modules are appended to this using...
find . | cpio -o --quiet -H newc -A -O ../initramfs.cpio
The exact size is ..
% ls -la initramfs.cpio
-rw-r--r-- 1 nkukard nkukard 115944448 Mar 19 22:15 initramfs.cpio
It is available here...

Qemu 0.12.1.2 .
I've set Makefile.lib to use coreutils 8.4 /usr/bin/printf . Just to be
sure my stripped down bash I use for /bin/sh isn't to blame.
The boxes used are as follows...
centrino is a Dell E6400 ATG , bootloader is grub with fedora patches
applied
qemu x86_64 is run on a IBM X60 using qemu-system-x86_64 -kernel
/tmp/bzImage
Each rebuild done with ...
make clean && make bzImage
I'm using ...

How much RAM are you giving your VM? The default for Qemu is 128 MB,
and if you have a 110 MB initramfs it's hardly surprising that you get
an out of memory error.

The kernel now boots where it booted for my 64bit box.
The main problem though is the instant reboots for bzip2 and lzma
compressed initramfs images. The change for printf to /usr/bin/printf
both render the sane end result when run with the same commandline being
run in the makefile, so this isn't the issue.

Oh, you have *that* problem.
What printf is being used?

coreutils 8.4 and 7.5 and bash all give me the same result for the
commandline being run. This was just one of the things I tried and it
didn't fix the problem.
Here is what is run from the buildlog...
(cat arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin | lzma -9 && printf
\\150\\111\\241\\007) > arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin.lzma || (rm
-f arch/x86/boot/compressed/vmlinux.bin.lzma ; false)
I tested printf out...
# printf \\150\\111\\241\\007 | xxd
0000000: 6849 a107 hI..
coreutils 7.5
# /usr/bin/printf \\150\\111\\241\\007 | xxd
0000000: 6849 a107 hI..
coreutils 8.4
# /usr/bin/printf \\150\\111\\241\\007 | xxd
0000000: 6849 a107 hI..
That confirms it? its not the b0rked printf issue afaics :)

Okay, so why the f*ck did you mention that instead of answering the
question I asked? *How much memory does your VM have?*

Sorry, had 128M , now has 2G. The tests now render the same results

The reason I mentioned the printf issue is it causes this exact problem,
I just wanted you to know that I've already touched that base to rule it
