Simple: <br>

You either use an initramfs, and if so your initramfs should mount the
real root file system itself using switch_root() or you don't use an
initramfs and let the kernel mount it (but then you need the driver
compiled into the kernel).<br>

As a nitpicking, if you are using initrd, there is a mode of operation
where the initrd (linuxrc script) loads the kernel module, but the
kernel does the actual mounting. I</blockquote>

Yes, but initramfs does not support it AFAIK and I wouldn't recommend
anyone to use initrd in favour of initramfs for any system with 2.6
kernel.<br>
