Honestly, I'd recommend just trying it out. Dracut right now is as usable |
11 |
as any non-initramfs solution out there and you can always add it as an |
12 |
extra non-default option in grub so that it doesn't mess you up if it |
13 |
doesn't work. |

I've found that dracut is pretty auto-magic by default and the config file |
16 |
doesn't generally need tampering. Most of the options are to NOT load |
17 |
modules or to minimize the initramfs size by figuring out what modules are |
18 |
actually needed and only load those (which means if you change hardware |
19 |
between boots it could come up short). |

The modules that are available are controlled by use flags. Actually, I |
22 |
think it is a DRACUT_MODULES variable or something like that (not unlike how |
23 |
X11 handles drivers). |
