is there any GOOD reason for using an initrd? Really? I can't imagine any. Second, what is this ufs stuff? This is linux. Kick out ufs, make the partitions linux, with ext3 or reiserfs or xfs or jfs. Make a udf, iso9660 and fat module, and don't build the other fs (except sysfs,proc etc). Build everything needed to boot INTO the kernel. Again, what are the advantages of a initrd? Except that it is another instance in boot that costs time and may be introduce a cause of failure? -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
