Subject: initramfs size & crashkernel reserved area

I am observing the following.

We are using linux 2.6.23 kernel
crashkernel=128M@16M

We also have few kernel modules in our code base.

The kernel modules are gzip'ed in the cpio archive which is included
in the .init.ramfs section of vmlinux

When the size of the .init.ramfs section goes beyond certain limit
then it corrupts the crash kernel reserved area.

If the .init.ramfs size is 0x33d0f6 then things work ok.

If the init.ramfs size is 0x4be430 then it corrupts the crashkernel area.

Any pointers for further debugging?
