My dracut initramfs (created with just hostonly=yes changed from the |
| 51 |
config installed by Gentoo) is quite "heavy" and starts up udevd in |
| 52 |
the initramfs. That along with other things that happen in there could |
| 53 |
possibly be leading to your permission problems. |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
If I were you, I'd manually create an initramfs the way that Neil has |
| 56 |
mentioned that simply mounts /usr and then does a switch_root and see if |
| 57 |
you still have problems. |

It's really not too hard if you can muddle through simple shell scripts. |
