Basically, the kernel now has a 20MB initramfs included that is full of 0's. When you install the kernel, it automatically generates an initramfs to replace this "dummy" one. The reason the dummy one is in there is so that rpm can accurately calculate how much space it needs in boot. Deltarpm sees that the initramfs has changed and can't do a delta because it thinks the initramfs should be 0's. Jonathan
