Read this on the concepts/reasoning of initramfs:
http://lwn.net/Articles/191004/
and then this:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/kernel-team/2009-January/003987.html
where initramfs is preparing to be removed permanently from distro.
I got lost reading the lwn.net article above....someone can reword/rephrase in your own understanding?
essentially questions are:
what is the problem with initramfs? and how does it differs from initrd? strength of initrd over initramfs?
