If you actually use the distro tools [1] the only assumptions are made at kernel *installation* time, not at kernel build time. I've been using initramfs-tools generated initrds for years without problems, and that includes "root on LVM on LUKS encrypted partition" and "root on LVM on RAID" setups. Cheers, FJP [1] I.e. if you build and install the kernel as a .deb package using e.g. the deb-pkg target or kernel-package. -- 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
