I understand. My question is why are you even using the initrd? |
| 8 |
There's no requirement to use it today, at least on stable. There's |
| 9 |
not even a discussion I've seen that says we _ever_ have to use it if |
| 10 |
we don't use a separate /usr, so I'm not understanding where the |
| 11 |
problem is. |

This is just my 2 cents, but assuming you have a lot of disk space why |
| 14 |
not do a second Gentoo install, use initrd there to learn about it, |
| 15 |
and just STOP doing updates to your current environment. If you don't |
| 16 |
update it then it's not going to fail due to an update, right? |

I'm not picking on you or anything like that. It just seems to me that |
| 19 |
you're worrying about the worst instead of doing the easiest. Let's |
| 20 |
let the heavy lifters do some work, watch people get through it, and |
| 21 |
only then decide what to do. No reason to cause problems with our |
| 22 |
systems. I've masked a few packages and am being careful about |
| 23 |
updates. |

Good luck, |
