CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD: Initial RAM filesystem and RAM disk (initramfs/initrd) support

General informations

The Linux kernel configuration item CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD has multiple definitions:

Initial RAM filesystem and RAM disk (initramfs/initrd) support found in init/Kconfig

The configuration item CONFIG_BLK_DEV_INITRD:

• prompt: Initial RAM filesystem and RAM disk (initramfs/initrd) support
• type: bool
• depends on: (none)
• defined in init/Kconfig
• found in Linux kernels: 2.6.21–2.6.39, 3.0–3.19, 4.0–4.20, 5.0–5.19, 6.0–6.12

Help text

The initial RAM filesystem is a ramfs which is loaded by the boot loader (loadlin or lilo) and that is mounted as root before the normal boot procedure. It is typically used to load modules needed to mount the "real" root file system, etc. See Documentation/admin-guide/initrd.rst for details.

If RAM disk support (BLK_DEV_RAM) is also included, this also enables initial RAM disk (initrd) support and adds 15 Kbytes (more on some other architectures) to the kernel size.

If unsure say Y.
