Right now, I'm using eudev. If my machine stops booting because it needs a init thingy, this could get interesting. I used dracut for a bit until eudev came along but for me, it was a tool to see if things blow over and some folks come to their senses. As much as I hate Mandriva which had a init thingy, if I have to have one and find myself unable to chroot into Gentoo and make repairs, at least Mandriva installs faster. Yea, you can do a lot in chroot but only if you can figure out what is wrong and know how to fix it. I to hope folks can see the light before this bad dream turns into a nightmare. The further this goes, the harder it is going to be to back peddle and fix it. Dale :-) :-) -- I am only responsible for what I said ... Not for what you understood or how you interpreted my words!
