I've got a stable system running with initramfs simply by virtue of
using a kernel built with make-kpkg. I'm actually using a slightly
modified version of Nix's initramfs startup script, and build the
initramfs using buildroot, which makes is pretty simple to build a small
rootfs linked against uclibc, with utils to manage md, lvm, and xfs
filesystems. It's a very nice setup.
