title: Is it possible to boot the Linux kernel without creating an initrd image?
body: <p>As I understand, initrd is a small image that is loadable in the RAM. It is used to boot a complete kernel with all the loadable modules. As part of the process, we need the vmlinuz kernel image which is a renamed version of bzImage. </p>
