22 I /think/ you're right there.

24 Any reason you bury the iniitrd in the options list rather that having it
25 on a separate line? This is what I'm now using:
26
27 title Desktop
28 version 5.4.38-gentoo
29 linux vmlinuz-5.4.38-gentoo
30 options root=LABEL=yooden rd.luks.uuid=luks-...
31 initrd intel-uc.img
32 initrd initramfs-5.4.38-gentoo.img
