__Everyone__ is already using an initramfs, therefore there are no initramfs-less systems anymore (it may just be empty). Every single person reading this thread that has not already done so needs to immediately go read the relevant documentation located in /usr/src/linux/Documentation/filesystems/ramfs-rootfs-initramfs.txt, then and only then can a real discourse be had. Why is an in-kernel initramfs so bad anyway? I am baffled. Its quite nice to have a minimal recovery env in case mounting fails, etc, etc, etc. :/ -- Matthew W. Summers Gentoo Foundation Inc.
