[gentoo-user] Booting from dmraid

[Aram Havarneanu]

Hello,

I have followed this guide:
http://en.gentoo-wiki.com/wiki/RAID/NVRAID_with_dmraid and practically
everything is working. However, I want to make things better.

I have used genkernel (with a custom config) because it is very easy
to set up dmraid apparently. I am not happy with this because
genkernel generates a 21MB initrd that runs some autoload scripts that
load modules for every hardware device I don't have.

I wonder why can't I statically compile dmraid support in the kernel
and not require an initrd file. Is that possible?

Thanks,
