Is it possible that you compiled an lzma-compressed bzimage? Usually the
compression ratio is estimated at 2. In case of big initrd it may land
in a region which is clobbered by bzimage being decompressed. This was a
widespread issue on EFI since there GRUB tried to put initrd at lowest
possible address, but by now it should be changed to try to load initrd
as high as possible
