I've yet to try out either tool, but I do like the fact that initramfs will be getting heavy testing (and associated fixing) by our Ubuntu friends. Are any other distros using initramfs or yaird? I agree with Sven that, at the end of the day, this should be a user-selectable option. We just need to pick a default that has the best chance of working for most users. And, we should be able to change this default if a better option comes along. So, maybe the best approach is to come up with a matrix of test cases, and see where the problems in each lie. Something like this, maybe? http://wiki.debian.org/InitrdReplacementOptions And also, what will be the best way to migrate? Should we make a new initrd-tools package that provides a /usr/sbin/mkinitrd script that selects a backend and performs any necessary argument munging? (I think someone suggested this before...). This would be a clean upgrade path, and would work with existing kernel debs that are out there, and wouldn't require asking the user to update their kernel-img.conf file (but they could do so, if they wanted). It also wouldn't require a kernel-package mods. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
