pkern@franck ~/linux-3.2.32-1/debian % rgrep 'INITRD' . ./config/config:CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y And stable: pkern@franck ~/linux-2.6-2.6.32-46/debian % rgrep 'INITRD' . ./config/config:CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD=y It's another matter if the architectures support booting initrds of the size Debian creates or initrds at all. But all kernels support it. Kind regards Philipp Kern
