Well, patching genkernel worked so its still broken as regards |
47 |
suspend/resume - so I can now suspend/resume still with some errors. |
48 |
|
49 |
Next problem is that there are error messages implying /usr might not be |
50 |
mounted by the initramfs (some /usr files not found) ... is there |
51 |
anything else that needs doing? Once the system is up /usr and all |
52 |
other directories are correctly mounted (most are on LVM). |
53 |
|
54 |
Is there a way to get a detailed log of what the initrd is doing/has |
55 |
done? |
