Might have even been fixed in a more recent version of Dracut. |

I just have passed the point where I am interested in it enough to try it. The |

initramfs I use gets embedded into the kernel and doesn't need any kernel |

It does what it needs to do with minimal work. The simplicity should also make |
| 21 |
it faster than the scripts generated by either Dracut or genkernel. (As they |
| 22 |
need to parse the kernel cmdline and try to figure out static details on the |
| 23 |
fly) |
