You might be interested in a project I was working on. Arch linux already has something similar, I added it to Gentoo's sunrise overlay, and the other major distros are too intimidating to submit it to without better integration, which I've little inclination to work on without a known path for inclusion. It builds an initramfs and/or initrd using local binaries and is very easy to customize since it builds the image within a subfolder. You can even chroot in to it and run informational only checks to make sure you've included the things you'll want. Plus you can work in a subshell and then 'exit' to make a change like this or run an fsck before early-userspace ends. https://sourceforge.net/projects/aeuio If it doesn't work please let me know so I can resolve the error. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-raid" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
