The initramfs has > (basically) one purpose in life -- getting the rootfs mounted so that > we can transition to the real rootfs. This is all driven off of > device availability. Therefore, instead of scripts hard-coded to do > various things, we depend on udev to create device nodes for us and > then when we have the rootfs's device node, we mount and carry on. > Having the root on MD, LVM2, LUKS is supported as well as NFS, iSCSI, > NBD and FCOE. What's the current state of dracut packaging? Any chances we might see dracut included right in time for Squeeze? regards, -mika-
