I'm pretty sure it does. Fedora 14 just switched to systemd and they use a symlink. I guess dracut does not really care and does not do any safety checks as initramfs-tools currently does. >> maks: I've implemented a fastfoward path, please review >> branch mika/validate_init at >> http://git.debian.org/?p=kernel/initramfs-tools.git > > will do in the next 48 hours, but haven't been told that > the ! symlink cause is the usual fastpath. > not sure this symlink complication is really worth it. I do think, it should be possible to boot with /sbin/init being a symlink (either absolute or relative). I don't really care if that means, that either the safety checks are made more sophisticated or dropped altogether.
