This is most probably due to the fact that your ramdisk is bigger
than the maximum size supported by the kernel.

Unfortunately you don't give us any details how big your uncompressed

see the compressed size.

That's obvious, isn't it?

Is there any chance your uncompressed ramdisk is bigger than that?
