I have always built my kernel without support for initramfs/initrd by setting the build configuration variable `CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD' to `n'; in a Kconfig set up UI, you can find this option under `General setup' as the item:
Initial RAM filesystem and RAM disk (initramfs/initrd) support
You should probably also tell your boot loader (such as `grub') not to bother loading an initial ram disk.
However, I have the vague notion that there have been rumblings about requiring initramfs/initrd support in the future; does anybody know if this is true?
Sincerely, Michael Witten
