That's not correct. The initrd is doing more. See below. |

Ah. So you don't know. |

Yes, there is. For LVM to work, it needs to be setup properly. |
| 19 |
This involves calling dmsetup, pvscan, vgchange and others. |

How, if not through a linuxrc, should this be done? Further, |
| 22 |
the genkernel linuxrc only works with an initramfs, doesn't |
| 23 |
it? If so, how can the linuxrc be used, if not with an initrd? |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
But you're right in so far, as that an *initrd* wouldn't |
| 26 |
be necessary. A properly working linuxrc is reqd. |
