+Another way to create an initramfs image is using "dracut"[1], which is
+available on many distros, however the initramfs dracut generates is a cpio
+archive with another cpio archive in it, so an extra step is needed to create

 need userspace in many cases.  Running without userspace has the
 advantage of allowing you to test your kernel independently of the
