I'd be interested in any observations on this from someone who hasn't been using it, and then has started using it. While I've been building deb packages out of my own kernel builds with kernelpackage for some time now, I've decided long ago, even during my slackware-only days, that an initrd seemed to be too much of a hassle, and as far as I could tell, it didn't offer any benefits over the regular way, other that the kernel binary could be made even smaller through compiling the ide and root fs stuff as modules.
