Well, i tried upping the initial size, I quadrupled it, to no avail. It looks like that messages is generated around line 837 in the mkinird, before your change.

That's strange. You should have at least seen something kind of like:
20629+0 records in
20629+0 records out
somewhere after 'creating initrd "/boot/initrd" for kernel
"/boot/kernel/image"'
but before 'dasd_mod: failed to add module
"/lib/modules/2.4.21-83-default/kernel/drivers/s3
90/block/dasd_mod.o"
initrd too small'
Does a "which mkinitrd" return /sbin/mkinitrd?
At this point I can only suggest you do a bash -x mkinitrd and post the
output in order to figure out what codepath your mkinitrd script is
taking.
I mean, you could try upping the size of the initial initrd (look for #
maximum initrd size and image_blocks=20480), but the fact that you get
zero output from the second dd though the "initrd too small" error
clearly comes after it makes me wonder what is really going on...
