Answer / renjith
initial RAM disk (initrd) is a temporary root file system
that is mounted during system boot to support the two-state
boot process. The initrd contains various executables and
drivers that permit the real root file system to be
mounted, after which the initrd RAM disk is unmounted and
its memory freed. In many embedded Linux systems, the
initrd is the final root file system

Answer / its.kitts
initrd image is the initial ram disk image
While the system getting booted the kernel image
will get loaded into the main memory after POST
to improve I/O performance.
this initrd image will contain the same version number
of kernel and if we face any error in booting regarding
this initrd we can reinstall it with 'mkinitrd' command
