That's not correct. The initrd is doing more. See below. > With suspend2, make sure you also compile in > the LZF option in the crypt section.

This involves calling dmsetup, pvscan, vgchange and others. How, if not through a linuxrc, should this be done? Further, the genkernel linuxrc only works with an initramfs, doesn't it? If so, how can the linuxrc be used, if not with an initrd? But you're right in so far, as that an *initrd* wouldn't be necessary. A properly working linuxrc is reqd.
