Yeah, that was my reading of it, and I appreciate your response.

In this case, and I don't know why, I have this feeling that this
thing is gonna turn out badly and I'd be better being prepared on the
initramfs side of things. I did have to use one to bring up my server
with / on a RAID6, not because I needed it long term but in the short
term I couldn't determine how mdadm was numbering the RAID so that I
could get grub.conf correct. I'm somehow a bot worried something is
going to slip by the devs and I'd be better off having an initramfs
already running on the box when I do allow the upgrades.

Planning on giving Dracut a try.

Thanks,
Mark
