When Linux comes up, there is one line like this

What is the init version, is it separated from linux kernel release?
Yes. The 'init' program is the first user-space program launched by
the kernel.
Anyone can give a link if it is a separate release package.
It is a separate package. You can probably locate the 'init'
executable with a command like 'which init' and then use your
distribution's command to determine which package 'init' comes from.
On the Linux machine closest to me, this happens:
# whereis init
init: /sbin/init /etc/init.d /usr/share/man/man8/init.8.gz
# rpm -q --whatprovides /sbin/init
SysVinit-2.86-2.2.2
# rpm -q -i SysVinit

Summary : Programs which control basic system processes.
Description :
The SysVinit package contains a group of processes that control
the very basic functions of your system. SysVinit includes the init
program, the first program started by the Linux kernel when the
system boots. Init then controls the startup, running, and shutdown
of all other programs.
