Agreed. I just had to debug a non-booting initramfs (#726237 as it turns out) and that was unnecessarily hard. So, for reference, until the bug is fixed, you can decompress such concatenated cpios with: (cpio -i --io-size=1; dd bs=1 count=8 of=/dev/null;zcat | cpio -i) < /boot/initrd.img-3.10.12-andres I am not entirely sure yet why the 8 is required but thats where the gz header started, the 8 bytes before it are zeroes :/ Not nice, but simple enough.
