Hi bmarkus, I tried to find the page so I could include the reference in my post but I wasn't able to find it again, even in my browser history. I was trying to find out if you can have multiple initramfs files like you can with a pxe boot and while searching for that I noted the comment about not needing the initrd= line.
There is one reference here but he doesn't mention where he found the info:
--- Quote ---update: Adding initrd=0x00f00000 to /boot/cmdline.txt does not appear to be necessary (My Pi boots file to an LVM root without it). The initramfs entry in /boot/config.txt is required, however.

I'll see if I can find a more official reference.

Worked fine.
Are the vnc server and clients on the 6.0 repo?

Thanks for the info. I haven't seen it mentioned before and now searching the net I found in every docs saying it is needed in command line. However it boots up fine without which makes life a bit easier and cleaner.

Thanks!

Hi bmarkus, I've been trying to understand the initrd= and why it works without it and maybe this explains it?
http://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=10532
Is it that earlier versions of start.elf did not set ATAG_INITRD2 which is why the initrd= entry was needed in cmdline.txt but then start.elf was updated to set ATAG_INITRD2 making the initrd entry in cmdline.txt redundant?
Gerrelt:
I've removed the initrd= entry too, and everything is still working.
