initrd.img file is a compressed cpio image of root file system which is used by kernel while booting. You can view its content by uncompressing it. Follow these steps:- 

• copy the initrd.img file to some directory like

              #cp /boot/initrd.img .

• Rename it to make it gunzip extension like

            #mv initrd.img initrd.gz

• uncompress it 

            #gunzip initrd.gz 

       It will make a initrd file in your current directory which is actually a cpio file. So to uncompress cpio file run this command as below:-

#cpio -idv <initrd

it will uncompress and create all its content in current directory.

I hope it is answering your question.
