Re: [arch-general] Removing initrd (For use with GRUB2, LVM, GPT)

2012-01-08 Thread Jonathan Vasquez
Btw, If I do decide to go with the alternative layout, then I ask myself what is the point of complicating my life and using GRUB2? If the /boot and / will be on physical partitions, the only reason I see to use GRUB2 is for the official GPT support (as oppose to GRUB-Legacy patched GPT support).

[arch-general] Removing initrd (For use with GRUB2, LVM, GPT)

2012-01-08 Thread Jonathan Vasquez
Hello everyone, So I've been experimenting on removing my use of initrd and using the kernel directly. My current setup is the following: GPT, LVM, GRUB2 (So I can boot my partitions that are inside the LVM). /dev/sda1 BIOS Boot Partition EF02 (GPT) /dev/sda2 Linux LVM (named arch) /dev/arch/b
