Did you use a howto for Dracut? If so, have a link you could post? I
tried making a init thingy and after about 20 failed reboots, I scraped
the idea. I was trying to follow the howto on the Gentoo wiki I think.
The unofficial wiki.
I had some difficulties because the way I was doing things before with my
homebrew solution was... non-standard.
The problem areas that I remember from the transition were: setting the USE
flags correctly to build the modules I needed, initially confusing
dracutmodules and add_dracutmodules in dracut.conf (actually you probably
don't even need to edit that file at all), making sure to have a sane
/etc/fstab line for the root file system and passing the right root= kernel
command line. root=UUID=... works the best in my experience.
I did change the USE flags for the packages it said to. I think some
things have changed or something, maybe openrc?, and the script I was
copying and working with just didn't work. Maybe it needs updating or
something. I'm hoping to see a up-to-date howto or someone will post a
good up-to-date howto for dracut. Something even a idiot could follow.
I think it will work for me then. lol
