That's worth a try - it'll take an hour or three to get everything set |
| 26 |
up. But correct me if I'm wrong, I thought the whole point of using an |

initramfs was to be able to compile *everything* as a module, including |

the fs on / ? If not, that might explain why I've always had mixed |
| 29 |
results with genkernel... |
