[oe] Initramfs and kernel

[Charles Woloszynski]

Why does your initramfs depend on the kernel?  Are you using kernel  
modules in the initramfs?

I thought the idea of initramfs was to decouple the kernel from the  
Filesystem image AMAP.

Trying to learn from your adventure (since I plan to use an initramfs  
on the future)
