How can I do this, genkernel looks for its init before it mounts /usr and genkernel-next will not mount the separate /usr at all. My latest initrd is from the very latest genkernel. But how to get a complete history of systemd actions in the order that they are done, I thought the confirm_spawn would do this for me -- at least for my initial debugging. >=20 > How did you get your initramfs? dracut? genkernel?
