Give us all the information:

- where exactly your memory is located and how large
- where you've tried putting your initrd image, and how large this is
- how large your uncompressed kernel is, and where it's located
- how large the compressed kernel is, and where you're loading it
- the kernel messages

Just describing what's going on without numbers doesn't give enough
clues to work out why you're having a problem.
