I'm guessing systemd does it for me on my setup. No my setup is kind of special. I don't want to mess with all the user-space so all I do is: dracut --no-compress --kver `make kernelrelease` --kmoddir mods/ \ --no-hostonly --no-hostonly-cmdline --modules "bash base" \ --tmpdir `pwd`/myinitrd --force myinitrd/initrd \ --add-drivers "loop nvme nvme-loop nvmet" \ --install "lsblk find sort parted getopt fio tput column date \ dirname mktemp ps diff awk timeout time losetup \ truncate wc grep stat basename cut blktrace sg_inq \ realpath findmnt vi dd sed rm rmdir nvme" \ --include "$HOME/src/blktests" "/blktests qemu-kvm -m 4096 -smp 4 -nographic -serial mon:stdio -kernel \ arch/x86/boot/bzImage -initrd myinitrd/initrd \ -append "console=ttyS0 debug" I have the above in a shell wrapper as I simply can't remember it, or I just use rapido [1] which a co-worker of mine started for this job. As minimal as possible. I try to get my rebuild - boot - test cycles short. With my current config I have a bootup time in qemu below half a second on a reasonable machine in my lab and just below one second on my laptop.
