I deliberately changed the subject of this message because I hope people will also pay attention to my previous message in the thread. At http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2013/09/msg01150.html, which, I hope, this message will be a follow-up to, Stephen Powell wrote that, in general, initrd are desirable. He gave a few example where, he believes, one can not get without it. I am no expert. I do believe that, other then corner cases, most, if not all, the examples are wrong. They can be done without an initrd. I think the basic reason is that one can have udev rules that will map specific devices to specific names. Now, considering that an initrd requires a lot more software, I think that an initrd should be avoided unless absolutely necessary.
