With apologies to the OP, for going a little ot I always wanted to know , whats the point of having initrd? Why not just compile the basic stuff in? e.g ext3 could be compiled in etc. I am talking about when I have compiled my own kernel.. not about how good it is for the distros. Are there /any/ advantages of using an initrd here?
