I'm trying to make an initrd on my alpha, this is what happens:
mkinitrd -f -v /boot/initrd-2.4.0-0.14mdk 2.4.0-0.14mdk
Using modules: ./kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.o
./kernel/drivers/scsi/sd_mod.o ./kernel/drivers/scsi/qlogicisp.o
mke2fs 1.19, 13-Jul-2000 for EXT2 FS 0.5b, 95/08/09
/sbin/sash -> /tmp/initrd.mXGMwz/bin/sash
/sbin/insmod.static -> /tmp/initrd.mXGMwz/bin/insmod
/lib/modules/2.4.0-0.14mdk/./kernel/drivers/scsi/scsi_mod.o ->
/tmp/initrd.mXGMwz/lib/scsi_mod.o
/lib/modules/2.4.0-0.14mdk/./kernel/drivers/scsi/sd_mod.o ->
/tmp/initrd.mXGMwz/lib/sd_mod.o
/lib/modules/2.4.0-0.14mdk/./kernel/drivers/scsi/qlogicisp.o ->
/tmp/initrd.mXGMwz/lib/qlogicisp.o

When I then mount the initrd it produced, the filesystem is 100% full.
Are there any ways to let mkinitrd make a a larger (2.88Mb?) image?
TIA,
Stefan
