I still plan to fully remove initrd in September 2026. Maintainers will decide whether they will merge my patchset.

If you still have mail issues, consider applying for @linux.dev email, they are free for Linux devs ( https://linux.dev/ ). Also, I just tried to test whether your use case is still supported in mainline (i. e. uncompressed initrd with root=/dev/ram0). It turned out that on modern kernels you need to enable recently introduced CONFIG_BLK_DEV_WRITE_MOUNTED to make this work. So, make sure to enable this when upgrading kernel. -- Askar Safin
