After playing around some more hours with initram's i've finally found out |
| 40 |
what my problem was. It is easier than I though :D |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Basically my changes in my grub config were already correct, however I |
| 43 |
completely forgot, that, since I wrote my own init script, arg's like |
| 44 |
"root" and "init" simply weren't used by my script... |
| 45 |
If you look at my script, I only check the cmdline for "lvm", so |
| 46 |
setting "init" or "root" haven't any effect at all :D |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
That means, after modifying my init script, using |
| 49 |
"/usr/lib/systemd/systemd" as init, systemd booted up. It's still not |
| 50 |
perfect - it looks like it can't mount other lvm partition's and thus |
| 51 |
only boot's into maintains mode - but it boot's :) |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
Regarding dracut: Even though I got it to work, it also just bootet |
| 54 |
openrc and not systemd. Don't know why and I didn't digged further after |
| 55 |
it worked with my own script. |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
Regarding LVM: |
| 58 |
As mentioned systemd can't mount my lvm partitions from fstab. Those lvm |
| 59 |
partitions should be mounted by UUID, but it seems like systemd can't |
| 60 |
find them, even though there are available afterwards (under |
| 61 |
/dev/vg0/...). |
| 62 |
If I comment them out in /etc/fstab (they are not important) systemd |
| 63 |
boots just fine. I've also set "use_lvmetad = 1" in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf as |
| 64 |
mentioned at the systemd wiki. |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
Any clue why that doesn't work? |
| 67 |
