Have you checked whether downloading the initrd was succesfull? Some
browsers seem to unpack the file on the fly, while they should keep the
gzip format intact. Try downloading the initrd with wget and then boot it.
The cpu family is indeed unknown by HaRET, but that isn't a problem, it
should boot nevertheless.
