If you want to use an initrd image, install the [hyperstart](https://github.com/hyperhq/hyperstart/) kernel instead:
```
$ sudo wget -O /usr/share/kata-containers/vmlinuz.container https://github.com/hyperhq/hyperstart/raw/master/build/arch/x86_64/kernel
$ kernel_arch="$(arch)"
$ tmpdir="$(mktemp -d)"
$ pushd "$tmpdir"

$ kernel_version=$(grep "Linux/[${kernel_arch}]*" .config | cut -d' ' -f3 | tail -1)
$ kernel_tar_file="linux-${kernel_version}.tar.xz"
$ kernel_url="https://cdn.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v$(echo $kernel_version | cut -f1 -d.).x/${kernel_tar_file}"
