I find mkinitcpio a pain in the ass. Since the transition, I have gotten nothing but problems, unbootable systems, and similar. Really, I don't understand the reasons for the change. I keep a bootable image with initrd=/boot/kernel26-fallback.img, so to increase the chances of a bootable system in case of problems. Not that it does the right thing, like initrd did - it loads all kinds of strange drivers - but at least it manages to bring up the kernel if there is something wrong. Unfortunately arch also names all the kernels "kernel26" so it is not possible to keep a bootable kernel of an older version at an upgrade. With some trickery I created a kernel named "kernel2618", as a backup, if an upgrade is causing boot failure. That is also the reason i DONT go through the /dev/hdx to /dev/sdx transition, since it would make booting a backup kernel impossible. _______________________________________________ arch mailing list [email protected] http://www.archlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/arch
