It doesn't matter, it makes no difference, the kernel seems to just ignore the initrd and boot as normal. The error I posted from the logs is there whether I use the initrd or not. I did look for errors before, but not very well so I didn't notice it (sorry).

I don't have any more time to waste working on this initramfs nonsense at the moment. I may return to it later if nothing else turns up, but I don't want to. I don't see why the kernel can't wait until userspace has been mounted before it tries to load the firmware.
