Are you saying your kernel build automatically rebuilds your initramfs for you? I'm using dracut now and I'm looking for a way to automate the rebuild and installation of the initramfs image. I have them manually symlinked in /boot to /boot/initramfs.img and /boot/initramgs.img.old, to match the vmlinuz and vmlinuz.old symlinks from `make install`. Unfortunately I have to manage those by hand, now, or the initramfs images get out of sync. I guess I could write my own shell script to do it but is there an existing mechanism to hook into for this? --Mike
