There are two problems with the lfs-initramfs package (distributed as part of Root_FS_on_RAID+encryption+LVM hint)
The first is easy to fix: On Pure64 systems, /lib64 is a symlink to /lib. As it is created as a directory in the mkinitramfs hint, this causes problems as 64-bit programs look in /lib64 for the linker and other libraries, and if the system is a Pure64 system, it won't find the libraries it needs. The way to fix this is to first check if /lib64 is a symlink, or if it is a directory, and behave appropriately. The second is harder to fix: The RootFS hint and the Pkgusr hint (more_control_and_pkg_man.txt) do not mix. When the bootscripts attempt to mount the root filesystem, it can't find it, even through the initramfs could. It worked without the pkgusrs hint, but I would like to use that and an intramfs. I think the problem has something to do with premissions. Either way, I'd like fixes for these problems. -- William Immendorf The ultimate in free computing. Messages in plain text, please, no HTML.
