Point is that I would like to understand why including an initramfs has such consequences. I have to search for some pictures which are explaining the memory layout (never had any interested in that before). I assume some memory near the kernel is reserved for the modules and an initramfs will come inbetween the kernel and the reserved memory for modules.
