I've used GRUB extensivly with initrd and initrd-archive and intird-dynamic.
(I wrote the latter 2)

I forget if you can make a ramdisk larger then 32MB however, as 
        linux-2.4.4-1/drivers/block/rd.c:
                int rd_size = CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM_SIZE;
We all know a signed 16bits (int) is 32*1024-1.

But for some reason I remember testing up to 64MB myself.... : P

Please `cat /proc/cmdline` and post that from both GRUB and LILO, so we can
see what the kernel is seeing.

Are you POSITIVE it is working with LILO? It shows the correct size with
`df` after you mount it? LILO might actually be enforcing the upper
limit, instead of passing too large a value.
