A number of distributions (most importantly for me - Debian) use the
initrd as initramfs facility
I assumed that the passing of the data block would be independent of
ram disks seeing as
not using a ram disk was one of the major reasons for initramfs, but
it seems that you need
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y which depends on CONFIG_BLK_DEV_RAM=y
Would a patch separating out the init image handling from the initrd
handling be welcome
and if so should the resulting init image code be dependant on a
CONFIG variable or
always on (like initramfs is now)
