Here it is, dracut-0.3!
Featuring booting from all kind of block devices, NFS, iSCSI and NBD.
Dracut is a new initramfs infrastructure. It should replace
nash/mkinitrd.
Dracut is a feauture for Fedora 12
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/Dracut
How to get started, if you want to test.
# yum install dracut-0.3
To generate a initramfs image, run:
# dracut <imagename> <kernel version>
to overwrite an existing image:
# dracut -f <imagename> <kernel version>
Try to boot from that image by modifying /etc/grub.conf. Be sure to have
a fallback entry.
If you want to boot from network have a look at the manpage.
Basically everything can be specified on the kernel command line.
Bug reports can be send directly to me (harald@xxxxxxxxxx) until dracut
appears in the bugzilla component list.
Further information about dracut:

Ok, it seems the debug dracut module wants to be installed
automatically, due to a bug.
You either have all binaries which are needed by the dracut debug
module, or create the images with:
# dracut --omit debug <imagename> <kernel version>
Oh, and here are the Fedora 11 rpms
