Hi Tomasz. I can't tell; The combined kernel+initramfs is bigger than the 8Mb
silo allocates for the kernel, and it does this:

boot: chunky
Allocated 8 Megs of memory at 0x40000000 for kernel
/
Fatal error: Image too large to fit in destination

Fatal error: Image too large to fit in destination

Error loading /boot/chunky

Image not found.... try again


I don't see any silo config options to increase this value in the docs.

Good idea though :)
