According to the man page for initrd, it should be in
"/dev" and/or "/".
But using "ls -a", I don't see initrd in either place. The
"whereis"
command only find a compressed man page. Where is "initrd"?
/boot/initramfs-5.19.17-200.fc36.x86_64.img
Initrd is the traditional term for initial RAM disk (initrd), which after many
moons use had the term initial RAM filesystem (initramfs) ascribed to the file
serving the same purpose and basic structure. It was never a literal disk, just a
filesystem, like floppies, HDD partitions and logical volumes support. On most
installations, either lsinitrd or lsinitramfs will list either's contents.
