48 An older kernel (3.13.4) boots OK ... the newer ones are screwed up
49 (their initramfs) ...
50
51 Back to the start.
52
53 As I don't boot from LVM or mdadm-raid I consider to not need any
54 "DRACUT_MODULES=" in /etc/portage/make.conf, right?
55
56 What do you guys have in /etc/dracut.conf ?
57
58 Canek, I use your kerninst-tool ...
59
60 And there are settings in /etc/default/grub as well ... I somehow get
61 the feeling that there are way too much bells and whistles in the game.
62
63 I want to clean up as much as possible so that this more or less wasted
64 day at least makes some sense in the end.
65
66 Thanks all, Stefan
