Read this on the concepts/reasoning of initramfs: http://lwn.net/Articles/191004/
and then this: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2009-January/003987.html where initramfs is preparing to be removed permanently from distro. I got lost reading the lwn.net article above....someone can reword/rephrase in your own understanding? essentially questions are: what is the problem with initramfs? and how does it differs from initrd? strength of initrd over initramfs? -- Regards, Peter Teoh
