I thought I'd mentioned/asked this before, but don't recall a |
| 14 |
satisfactory answer... |

Ok, up until now, I haven't *had* to 'know' what additional drivers are |
| 17 |
needed by my system to boot. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
So... how the heck am I supposed to find out? Trial and error? |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
I do know I need lvm, so have that one listed... but what else? There |
| 22 |
has *got* to be some kind of way to analyze an existing system to reveal |
| 23 |
the 'drivers, scripts and tools' I need for my initramfs so I know what |
| 24 |
to include? |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
And how to do this should be *fully* covered in that wiki page. |

I really feel like I'm being thrown to the wolves here. |
