Probably the initrd is compressed and the binary stuff was the error messages of cpio, which are not terminal-safe. If file /boot/initrd.img-6.0.0-6-amd64 says ... gzip compressed data ... then the command to list the file tree would be gunzip </boot/initrd.img-6.0.0-6-amd64 | cpio -t (and maybe a pipe to "less"). Have a nice day :) Thomas
