Size and content of the init-ram-fs-image varies in relation to the expected functionality, or to put it simply, depend on certain module ex/in-clusion, but not limited to.

man 8 dracut

# ll -h /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img | awk '{print $5}'
25M
# lsinitrd /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img | grep .ko | wc -l
415

# ll -h /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img | awk '{print $5}'
4.7M
# lsinitrd /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img | grep .ko | wc -l
1


Exemplary example - BIOS SATA_AHCI/MD-RAID1/EXT4 & S3/S4 (SUSPEND/HIBERNATE)

/etc/dracut.conf.d/local.conf
# PUT YOUR CONFIG IN files named *.conf in /etc/dracut.conf.d/
# /etc/dracut.conf.d/*.conf will override the settings in /etc/dracut.conf
# SEE man dracut.conf(5)

# Turn off all dracut modules unnecessary for local boot & system power sleep states

man 5 dracut.conf


Perhaps someone understand all this, but giraffe, elephant and parrot are awesome and understood by all. :)
