Hmm ... having run 'unsymlink-lib --analyze/migrate/finish', switched profile to 17.1 and then rebuilt toolchain and 'emerge -1v /lib32 /usr/lib32', I did not have to manually remove those directories on 4 different systems so far (I think). That said I don't use an initramfs, but even if I did these are not boot time dependencies. If you feel shakey about it you can rebuild dracut before you need to use it again. You haven't missed a step by any chance? -- Regards, Mick
