Poor naming conventions but it looks like an > initrd to me. >=20 I'm "afraid" it isn't. Try zcat initramfs | cpio -t . initramfs are cpio ar= chives. And genkenrel is such a wild beast, that it compiles a static busyb= ox against uclibc _if_ you have an uclibc toolchain available for your arch= through crossdev (this feature really impresses me). If I'm not wrong, whe= n you haven't got any such toolchain, it uses a prebuilt version of busybox= . Those informations were gathered empirically by using genkernel.
