Hello,

What is the difference between initramfs and initrd ?

You could poke around in the Documentation directory of the kernel.  That
should answer your question.

Briefly, initramfs is a gzipped cpio archive.  initrd is typically a
compressed ext2 filesystem and requires a ramdisk to be unpacked to.
