Hi all, as I've found the solution, I'll reply myself in the hope it might help somebody in the future. The format can be both ext3.gz initrd, or cpio.gz, as I've seen a working example of ext3.gz initrd here: https://alteraforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=51423&p=212064#post212064 And I've been able to make a cpio.gz initramfs by specifying an initrd_high address below the location of the multi-file address. Leaving the initrd_high=0xffffffff was causing the kernel to not find the ramdisk image, thus crashing.
