Hi All,

As part of our new product development,we identified RHEL 6.0  as our 
distribution.

We done the customization of kernel and create new initramfs for the 
custom kernel using dracut.

But fount that  /init script in the initramfs is somewhat complex.

Can I replace this /init function alone with my simplified init script?.

My init script contains

1)mount proc
2)mount sys
3)mount rootfilesystem
4) unmount proc,sys
5) switch root into /sbin/initqueue.

Can you please help me to understand  code flow of init script  used in 
initramfs?.



Regards,
ShibuThomas
