Ok, I have never used genkernel, and have no desire to...
I have no idea what dracut is or how to use it...
I have a remote system that has /usr on a separate partition.
So...
How do I find out if I am actually *using* an initramfs right now (I
know it is built into the kernel), and
If I am not, how do I do this without using genkernel? Is dracut t he
only other option? Is it easy/trivial to set one up manually?
I cannot imagine that gentoo is just going to throw me to the wolves
like this without providing *in-depth* instructions on how to make sure
my system will boot after this update, like they did with the
baselayout-2 update...
The same here. This news scared me a little! If during this "update"
some of my servers gets screwed up, I will have to travel 100 miles
to fix it on place. Not very nice perspective...
BTW, I'm not using genkernel and I can not use it. sys-kernel/dracut
is not stable yet, so this update going to be real pain in a**!
After baselayout 1>2 update I thought nothing worse can happen to me.
Now I see I was terribly wrong...
