This could be one of those times. The trouble I ran into became clear |
| 24 |
later on. I had tried to build a init thingy that was built into the |
| 25 |
kernel. It didn't work right so I left it behind. Thing is, I forgot |
| 26 |
to disable that in the kernel config. So, I was building a kernel with |
| 27 |
a broken init thingy and telling grub to use the init thingy built by |
| 28 |
dracut. Can you imagine the fist fight that was being had? |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
I type all that to say this, unmask dracut, run dracut, add the init |
| 31 |
thingy to your grub line. I'm more sure that it will work than I am of |
| 32 |
genkernel. |
