What's the problem?
My custom initramfs definitely boots on my XO.
Also the stock F9 one did too, but it landed a lot of errors during
boot (which took several seconds to enumerate).

And boot without an initramfs?
When I did this IIRC boot would fail approximately 1 in 5 attempts
with sdhci errors. Never got a chance to figure out why, but putting
in the initramfs hid the problem nicely.
