Two comments. |

1. Canek is *very* helpful on systemd issues. |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
2. If you have /usr on the same filesystem as /, then switching to |
| 13 |
systemd is really not hard |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
A. Set some kernel options (see the gentoo wiki). |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
B. Set some use flags. |
| 18 |
i. At least -consolekit and systemd |
| 19 |
ii. This might be automatic if you use a systemd subprofile |
| 20 |
For example I use default/linux/amd64/13.0/desktop/gnome/systemd |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
C. Do a world update. |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
Once I merged / and /usr and did the above, systemd more or less worked |
| 25 |
right away. I did tweak it some later, but was able to read/send mail |
| 26 |
and use gnucash for my checking account on day 1. Note that I picked a |
| 27 |
conversion day when I knew canek would be available. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
If /usr is split from /, I believe Canek can guide you through. |
| 30 |
However, I have no experience with that (initramfs) so can't give a |
| 31 |
testimonial. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
In any event the wiki https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Systemd is helpful. |
| 34 |
For one thing it would have pointed out the need to tell the kernel |
| 35 |
to use systemd as init (the wiki has both grub and grub invocations). |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
Good luck! |
