Ok, your problem is ramdisk size. Notice that you have a 12000K
ramdisk, whereas the kernel has only allocated 8192K per ramdisk.
You have two choices here. You can either create a second ramdisk, and
copy half of your new ramdisk over, or you can increase the size of your
ramdisk. I would do the latter. You can usually specify the ramdisk
size in the kernel arguments (ramdisk_size=XXXX) or you can manually
increase it in the ramdisk driver itself (drivers/block/rd.c).
