I will go with dracut syntax here: vlan=: And will only support the .id naming, e.g.: vlan=eth0.1:eth0 As i'd think dracut syntax is more popular, despite being a bit backwards parsing the pairs.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1382054] Re: Add support for configuring VLAN interfaces in the initrd
@SKOM: Thanks for providing the hook. Saved me a lot of time. It may be worth mentioning that the new VLAN interfaces have to be shut down before booting by a line like this in initramfs.conf: DROPBEAR_SHUTDOWN="eth0 eth0.1" I wonder, why this configuration is not available by default in stock Debian: Neither encrypted root nor VLAN is very unusual in a server configuration.
