I constantly produce broken initrds because I forget to specify the --udev parameter. It would be very conentient to add an option in the config file for this, so that the setting is still there when you compile a new kernel. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.
An undocumented feature of genkernel lets you put CMD_UDEV="1" CMD_DMRAID="1" CMD_LVM2="1" in /etc/genkernel.conf. These settings are not supported and may change in the future as they are not an official setting for genkernel.conf. A different method of turning these on officially has not been worked out yet. udev, dmraid, and lvm2 would be added with these settings .. 0 is off .. or leave them out.
Also we need options for dmraid activation. for instance i need to run "dmraid -ay -f sil" because i have 2 raid controllers on the mobo. I had to modify my linuxrc in order to fix it.
for dmraid command lines do you want to supply the whole list of options or should "-a y" be assumed and the rest you add on the kernel command line?
to use this set dodmraid= on the cmdline sets DMRAID_OPTS internally for the linuxrc this runs /sbin/dmraid -ay ${DMRAID_OPTS}
Fixed in 3.2.0_pre10, thanks!
