John,

which version of systemimager are you using? which is the version of the
kernel in your image (I mean the version of
/var/lib/systemimager/images/rh2/etc/systemimager/boot/kernel)? How much
RAM do you have in your client? The message "attempt to access beyond
end of device" explains that the initrd was partially loaded in RAM...

Regards,
-Andrea

PS the correct parameter from syslinux.cfg is tmpfs_size, but maybe it's
a typo in the mail only...
