Before I give a detailed answer, I have a quick question. Initrd is used by the kernel temporarily as a root filesystem and then loads certain drivers ( ex: to initialize scsi disks etc) and then pivot root it to the actual filesystem. So even though we have included the root file system inside the initrd it will not be used. This is my wild guess.
