I am currently trying to find out why my LVM2-volumes aren't activated correctly at boot time. I am using packages from the overlay systemd-love as I run systemd as init-system (why? that's another discussion ;-) ). Until now I always was kind of lazy and used genkernel (or lately "genkernel-next") to build and install my kernels/modules. Yes, it's uncool, but so far it worked for me and it was comfortable. In my discussion with one of the devs of the systemd-love-overlay he pointed me at dracut to generate my initramfs. Never used it before and so I am still learning (yes, it booted already). I found infos in the Gentoo Wiki but I would also hear your opinions and experience: How do you generate your kernel and initramfs with dracut? Any handy scripts available ... any tricks or hints? Where are the advantages of dracut compared to genkernel? The udev-approach? Thanks, Stefan
