For starters, I would check your initrd against the original, maybe something went wrong in the download? My initrd is about 144Mb, but above I see "Freeing initrd memory: 112052K".
with an other, older machine this setup works as expected. Must be something with this type of hardware I think.
I guess it can't be excluded, but that would be my very last guess. To me, being unable to decompress the initrd suggests an issue with the initrd, first and foremost. I agree though, when it works on other hardware ... maybe something happens during the tftp transfer? Maybe you could try unpacking the initrd on a running system, to see if that fails too. Heh, I have just PXE/booted my laptop and I see "Freeing initrd memory: 146924K". That seems to fit a lot better with the 144Mb size of the initrd. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (12.1°C)
