I suspect if you're not using something half-decent to build your
initramfs, or have initramfses containing modules critical to mount your
rootfs and have initramfses in separate files such that they can be
loaded into the wrong kernel, all hell can break loose.

Myself I just build the initramfs at kernel build time using the
machinery in the kernel build system...
