Hello, I am seeing a peculiar behavior with all livecds. After booting any one (MilaX, BeleniX or Osol 2008.11) I am printing the ramdisk_start and ramdisk_end variables via mdb -k. The size got by ramdisk_end - ramdisk_start in all cases is approx 11.5MB larger than the actual uncompressed size of the ramdisk. Same is the size reported by ramdiskadm. This is peculiar. I tried going to GRUB command line and manually typing in kernel ... and module ... commands and I can see that GRUB reports the correct size.
