While all this bickering is nice to read, what is really needed is: 1. Somebody needs to step up and actually fix genkernel. 2. Somebody needs to update the handbook to document how to use dracut and a list of standard working kernel configs that go along with it. Getting into "the official tool is foo" and "foo doesn't work for bar" really isn't terribly useful. Those who like foo should make it work, and those who like the alternatives should help make them better-supported. Personally I like dracut, but I'm not terribly happy that the last dracut upgrade on my PXE+nfs-root box now takes 90 seconds to run DHCP with the latest upgrade. But it does look like it will support mounting that nfs share over an IPv6 tunnel broker. Whatever - it is the price of living on the edge, and I haven't gotten around to filing a bug so it obviously isn't that bad... :) Rich
