Hi Giancarlo,
Did some initial testing on my system, I was almost able to get a working initrd after a few tweaks [0] and a little patching [1] to use fs-lib with bash and without systemd. However I can't use my usb keyboard and mouse when greeted by gdm. I'll keep looking into it unless you have some pointers at the ready.
Using the following command to generate the initrd:
mkinitrd --xz /boot/initramfs-5.1.3-zen1-1-zen.img
And the resulting lsinitrd [2].
Thanks. This is precisely the kind of testing we need. Including different kernels. I tried only on linux and linux-lts so far. It's weird your keyboard is not running when hitting gdm, because, at that point the initramfs shouldn't have any interference. Also, any reason to use xz? I know that not everyone has a big boot partition and images created by dracut (even with -H) are larger than mkinitcpio's. By jelle's suggestion, can we concentrate the bug reports on the bugtracker? I think it will be better. Thanks again. Regards, Giancarlo Razzolini
