Yes, I am. I looked at generating it via dracut and get confused a bit. I try to generate it on another gentoo-host by editing a specific dracut.conf whic contains the md-related lines: kernel_cmdline+=" rd.md.uuid=6a6226ed:87d41201:76269125:1a17f6a4" kernel_cmdline+=" rd.md.uuid=2d6cd278:5f966c0f:ac5ed5c3:5a0bb8f5" kernel_cmdline+=" rd.md.uuid=b492f31d:96bfca88:8cd97590:ad997d2c" kernel_cmdline+=" rd.md.uuid=e848b637:ca2bde73:9f92f3cc:128cdbad" (to assemble the raid-arrays at boot) I run dracut -m "lvm mdraid bash" -c dracut.conf -f init2.img 3.18.9-gentoo and it ends with: *** Store current command line parameters *** Stored kernel commandline: rd.md.uuid=6a6226ed:87d41201:76269125:1a17f6a4 rd.md.uuid=2d6cd278:5f966c0f:ac5ed5c3:5a0bb8f5 rd.md.uuid=b492f31d:96bfca88:8cd97590:ad997d2c rd.md.uuid=e848b637:ca2bde73:9f92f3cc:128cdbad root=UUID=6eafd21c-c5f4-496d-bb90-ab4dc0a2c93c rootflags=rw,noatime,stripe=64,data=ordered rootfstype=ext4 *** Creating image file *** *** Creating image file done *** ... so the root= is looked up from the host I run the command on and not fitting the target machine ... etc etc hmm Does root= inside the grub-config override these lines? Should I use dracut --no-hostonly-cmdline ? Way too much variables in here ... especially when I can't just press Reset and try again. Stefan
