Unfortunately it is a public holiday in Austria and therefore I have too much time to play around with the system and come up with stupid ideas :-) But as I am used to live on bleeding edge technology and software, I have been using the 3.7 kernel from Kernel:HEAD and faced some issues with it. At the moment I am running the rc3 version and my previous issues seemed to have been resolved and the kernel is flying :-) However due to another bug in Factory regarding mkinitrd, I had to find another way of creating the required initrd to be able to boot the system with the new kernel. All my attempts with mkinitrd ended either without an initrd image or with a non-bootable image. On IRC I got the indication that openSUSE also has the dracut package which is an alternative to mkinitrd. I installed the required dracut packages and could very easily generate the initrd and bring it into grub. When I booted, I was somehow surprised how fast it actually was and I am wondering if this is due to dracut or the new kernel. Again based on the current status of mkinitrd (and the fact that the above bug somehow seems to take quite some time to be resolved) I really wonder if we have to keep the old mkinitrd functionality or that we should go with a newer technology which is used by more distributions. Especially as that we are already providing working packages for dracut.
