I was using genkernel, but it was whining about not supporting systemd, so I tried dracut for the first time. However, the initramfs created by genkernel has the same issue. I didn't do any special configuation of dracut, I read that just running it can usually create a initramfs without any additional configuration. It did detect I have mdadm of course, or my system wouldn't have booted at all. >> I also noticed this in the USE flags for systemd: >> - - sysv-utils : Install sysvinit compatibility >> symlinks and manpages for init, telinit, halt, poweroff, reboot, >> runlevel, and shutdown >> >> Should I enable that USE flag? > > No. In Gentoo in particular the SysV compatibility is completely useless. I was wondering more about the symlinks to the regular shutdown/reboot/etc commands. I never actually checked to see if they're already systemd-aware. Dan
