No you are not alone. I eventually found proof that successfully making
an initramfs is a process involving a lot of voodoo, full moons, eye of
newt and a human sacrifice.
Oh yeah, there's aliens involved too. But I only got the proof I
mentioned after I signed an NDA with the alien's, so I can't give you
the proof too otherwise I'd have to kill you right away.
So sorry, you'll have to stick with the good old stuff that can be
understood. Thank $DEITY for Gentoo where such things are possible...
