Hello
On my SSI1328 gemini board, I use initrd=0x800000,9M in cmdline.
On next-20210518 and 5.13-rc1 I got:
Booting Linux on physical CPU 0x0

On 5.12, initrd is used and works.
I bisected the problem, but without any result:

I think this is caused by the normal growth of the size of the kernel.
If you look in the System.map for the _end symbol, I think you'll find
that its address is larger than PAGE_OFFSET + 0x800000, causing the
overlap.
If so, the only realistic thing to do is to move the initrd higher up
in memory - I don't think you'll get much traction with the idea of
reducing the kernel's memory footprint.

FTTP is here! 40Mbps down 10Mbps up. Decent connectivity at last!

Thanks, moving initrd to 0x90000 made it works.
next:
cat /proc/iomem
00000000-07ffffff : System RAM
00008000-006f8fff : Kernel code
00726000-00818edb : Kernel data
v5.12:
# cat /proc/iomem
00000000-07ffffff : System RAM
00008000-006d5fff : Kernel code
00704000-007ee2b3 : Kernel data
So yes, it seems getting bigger.
Thanks for your help.
