You can workaround it by passing "-append nokaslr" to QEMU, but I guess that QEMU should be fixed to place the initrd in a higher bit of memory.

s universally useful in each providers environment. We were, for a while, generating 4 images in EC2 per release (multiplied by 12 regions). Now we generate one x86 64 bit image, and replicate it (PVM virtualisation and i386 is sun-setting on AWS: amd64 HVM is everywhere). If you twist my arm then perhaps an additional base image(s) for a new CPU architecture(s) may one day be needed. James -- /Mobile:/ +61 422 166 708, /Email:/ james_AT_rcpt.to
