I use this script to generate my initramfs:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

KVER=$(readlink /usr/src/linux | sed "s/^linux-//g")

echo "Creating initrd for kernel version ${KVER}..."

FIRMWARE=""

for i in $(find /lib64/firmware -type f); do
    FIRMWARE+=" ${i}"
done

/usr/bin/dracut -f -H -I "${FIRMWARE}" /boot/initrd-${KVER} ${KVER}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I use this command to generate my GRUB2 config:

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

Everything just works. However, I don't use LVM, and I don't use the
systemd-love overlay.

Regards.
