I've started using genkernel. Once I discovered I can specify my own |
| 27 |
kernel configuration, it got a lot less ugly to me. The initramfs |
| 28 |
thing hasn't gotten in my way...yet. And it helped me recover an |
| 29 |
install process once so far, so I can't complain _to_ much. My only |
| 30 |
complaint thus far is its terrible error reporting. And since I'm |
| 31 |
using an initramfs, I went ahead and dropped my / on top of a raid5 |
| 32 |
volume. |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
But even before I started using genkernel...grub2 sounded like a good |
| 35 |
thing. One of the previous threads in here described how you assemble |
| 36 |
its configuration, and it made a *lot* of sense, from an architectural |
| 37 |
standpoint. |
