With the initrd for my LUKS+LVM system, it just hangs at the stage where it is looking for a rootfs. So for user-friendlyness it probably needs dracut and initramfs-tools hooks to generate a new initramfs (stored outside /boot since that may be unencrypted) that is used with the default Debian Linux kernel images. The speed and attack surface issues still apply so I still think the new Linux kernel image flavour is needed. -- bye, pabs https://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
