noinitrd - Bypass the initial ramdisk

6.10 LPAR mode z/VM guest KVM guest

The noinitrd statement is applicable to kernels that are compiled with initial RAM disk support. Use this kernel parameter to bypass using the initial ramdisk.

This can be useful if the kernel was used with a RAM disk for the initial startup, but the RAM disk is not required when booted from a DASD.
