LFS LiveCD doesn't include the initramfs into the kernel at all. If you compile all drivers statically and use a non-empty EXTRAVERSION when compiling the kernel, the stock initramfs should work. If it doesn't, please download LFS LiveCD 6.3-r2160, it comes with a create-initramfs script that is used for initramfs creation, and the new remastering HOWTO that explains how to use it. See also http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/livecd/2007-October/005090.html, with some typos fixed in http://linuxfromscratch.org/pipermail/livecd/2007-November/005150.html, these two links explain how to make your own LiveCD. Please report if they work for you, if they contain any other typos or omissions, and what should be explained better. -- Alexander E.
