I had a few related questions on initramfs/initrd. If someone could
provide me some help and/or point to places where I can go and look,
that would be very nice.
Is there a difference between initramfs and initrd ? If not, what's the
difference between doing a "mkinitrd" and "update-initramfs -cv"
When the kernel boots up, does it mandatorily require that the initramfs
be of the same version ? When I try to bootup on vmlinuz-2.6.24-rc6,
and my initrd is initrd.img-2.6.24-rc5, then my boot hangs. I am using
Ubuntu 7.10 as my base distro and the hang is at "Waiting for root
filesystem".
