I don´t know if you have fixed that problem by now, but I
think I have found a solution for it.

Changing <SYS_INITRD_SIZE> and/or <SYS_INITRD_INODES> to
at least 10000 does not fix the problem.

But I have found the following part in
"/usr/lib/alice/utils/make_inst_disk":

        ddsize=2050 # (size of the init ram disk in KB )
        #
        # creating the new initdisk file
        # and copy it to the new boot_disk image
        #
        echo "Creating filesystem initdisk"
        dd if=/dev/zero of=${tmp_dir}/new_initdisk bs=1024 count=$ddsize
2>/dev/null \
           || err_exit "Failed to create ${tmp_dir}/new_initdisk"
        mkfs -t minix -i 2000 ${tmp_dir}/new_initdisk 1>/dev/null 2>/dev/null \
           || err_exit "Failed to create filesystem on ${tmp_dir}/new_initdisk"

changing it to:

        ddsize=2550
and
        mkfs -t minix -i 2550 ...
        
fixed the problem on my side.
