I have used genkernel for my initramfs. |

The dracut one seems to hang on a kernel panic(Implying that it did not |
| 4 |
load the correct modules for luks and lvm). |

Besides the size of your initramfs should not matter since its only used |
| 7 |
to mount the partitions and do the pre-kernel loading. |

The only thing that you will win by making your own initramfs would be |
| 11 |
size and boot speed. |
