If that's true, even with systemd, why is there any need to build an
initramfs for a known system?
I had used initramfs to setup a loopback device and boot the system in an
image. But it seems grub can handle loopback device (though I've never
tried).
Just like you, I build everything I need into a custom kernel and avoid
the need for an initramfs. One other reason people use initramfs is if
they need udev services on boot, say, for a drive the kernel will not be
able to find via a simple specification of root=/dev/X.
I think people should not go through all the initramfs trouble just for
LABEL= or UUID= functionality, but rather should just use PARTUUID=
which the kernel natively understands.
Agree. Now I only use "initrd" directive to update CPU microcode and fix
the buggy ACPI DSDT of my laptop (another sad story).

Nice to know someone else does this. I use an initrd on my main machine for
precisely these two purposes. I had hoped that rewriting the acpi dsdt to
remove some reported errors would allow me finally to boot the latest kernels,
which are giving me panic in the acpi driver, but no such luck!
Mind you, I'm not using systemd.
Great, new development, now I can't even install systemd due to the next
error:
...
RuntimeError: File 'man/binfmt.d.5' could not be found
FAILED: meson-install
When looking for the missing file, I only found 'man/binfmt.d.xml'. I
also refreshed the two systemd-238 packages to exclude a fallen bit, to
no avail. Any suggestion where this might come from?
Regards,
Frans.
