Sorry, no I didn't. (hangs head in shame) Your enlargement was causing
problems for openslug. We were seeing errors where the system was
trying to write past the end of the ramdisk. The kernel command line
for openslug only allows a 10M ramdisk.

I'l see what can be done to contain the change to openslug.

Moving past 10M needs a change to the kernel command line and/or
config. I did some experiments, but was largely unsuccessful getting
openslug to accept the larger ramdisk.
Again, sorry to confuse.
