The command I use is: |
99 |
|
100 |
dracut /boot/initramfs-<kernel version here> |
101 |
|
102 |
I name each one according to kernel versions. I try to keep a few back |
103 |
up kernels in case one gets borked or something. It makes cleaning |
104 |
easier if I know which files belong to what. Anyway. |
105 |
|
106 |
I also looked back at the log for the last build. The only thing I |
107 |
found that may resemble a error would be it skipping file systems that I |
108 |
don't have installed or built into the kernel, in other words, things I |
109 |
don't use to begin with. I didn't see it complain about anything |
110 |
missing or broken. |
111 |
|
112 |
I agree it is weird that su to root doesn't work. I have not been able |
113 |
to find anything related with SP, read as Google replacement search tool |
114 |
www.startpage.com since Google got nosey. lol From what I have read, |
115 |
it shouldn't matter but I can boot with the init thingy and it fails |
116 |
everytime. When I boot without the init thingy, it works fine. Weird |
117 |
is a good word to describe it. |
118 |
|
119 |
I noticed dracut just got updated. I have dracut-017-r3 installed now. |
120 |
|
121 |
I may stick a small drive in my old rig, x86, and try to figure this |
122 |
mess out on it. Maybe try putting /usr and /var on LVM and really make |
123 |
a mess of things. lol |
