I'm on the old Grub. I keep saying I'm going to switch but . . . . . . |
| 56 |
. If you are using the new grub, how difficult is the switch? Scale |
| 57 |
from one to ten would be fine. 1 being pulling teeth and 10 a walk in |
| 58 |
the park and your eyes were closed. o_O |
| 59 |
|
| 60 |
I always keep a older boot line available so I will test this but I may |
| 61 |
version them anyway, just to be safe. At least I know there is a chance |
| 62 |
that it would work if the init thingy didn't build correctly. I tend to |
| 63 |
skip versions of kernels too. Sometimes I go several versions. Plus, |
| 64 |
honestly, I'm not even 100% sure I am booting the init thingy. I posted |
| 65 |
a thread about it but no replies. I'm about 95% sure tho that is is |
| 66 |
booting the init do hicky. Can you tell I'm not really liking the init |
| 67 |
thingy yet? |
| 68 |
|
| 69 |
Does the dracut init mount /usr if it is on a separate partition or do I |
| 70 |
have to set something to tell it too? Right now it's not but I do plan |
| 71 |
to redo my set up. I'm planning to put everything on LVM except / and |
| 72 |
its friends. |

Thanks. |
