I still didn't try the package. I'm working on the kernel and i don't
want to break my system.

But, these are the changes i made in the /initramfs-tools/:

- Added Jude's:

/example/initramfs/scripts/init-bottom/vdev/
/example/initramfs/scripts/init-top/vdev/

    in the following paths of the initramfs-tools package:

/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-bottom//
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top//

- Added Jude's:

/example/initramfs/hooks/vdev/

    in the following path of the initramfs-tools package:

/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks//

- Replaced the initramfs-tool's file:

/usr/share/initramfs-tools/init/     (which starts with udev)

    by Jude's file:

/example/initramfs/init/                (which starts with vdev)

- Added the modules

/sd_mod//
// squashfs//
// loop/

    to /usr/share/initramfs-tools/modules/

So, i did't change the /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/functions/

It should work.

Cheers,

Aitor.
