However, LFS does not use an initramfs by default, nor provide any guidance on using one. And since it's a pretty complex area to approach on your own, it's probably best for the original poster to avoid it for the time being - if you're not familiar with kernel configuration, you *really* don't want to try setting up an initramfs unaided...
