Description:   Opened: 2007-04-08 13:02 0000 
Hi, I can't find any official documentation on the luks features of genkernel
that are mentioned here:

http://www.saout.de/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=LUKSOnGentoo

My default /etc/genkernel.conf doesn't mention it either.

I wanted to post to a mailing list, but on
http://www.gentoo.org/main/en/lists.xml doesn't say to which one genkernel
belongs.

Cheers

There is no genkernel mailing list.  Feel free to submit patches for the
documentation.

Updated website docs

These are my first patches, error comments are apreciated. These may be
incomplete, since I had no updated Luks docs to start with.

Wow!  Very much appreciated.  I'll check this stuff out a bit later today and
try to get it committed.  I don't have access to the genkernel guide, since it
is maintained by the GDP, but I'll be sure it gets updated, too.

Ok, this is what happens when I try to guess things: I know crypt_root is the
argument to be used in the boot, but couldn't find in genkernel if it
recognises it :S If it doesn't, should be easy to put that.

Docs:  Can you guys update the genkernel guide with the patch above?

I've added the man page patch to SVN and it'll show up in the next genkernel
release.

Fixed on the GDP's end.

Sidenote:

Chris, we could really use some updates for the genkernel guide; it's been two
years since any content went into it....I'm thinking it should just be retired.
We don't hardly get any hits to it anyway.

None of use in the GDP use genkernel, so we wouldn't know what to update.
Thoughts?
