Re: [arch-projects] [mkinitcpio][PATCH] kernel-install: add hook

This will allow systemd's kernel-install script to generate and install an initrd as per the freedesktop boot loader specs.

What bootloaders implement this?

See kernel-install(8) for details.

Notice that 'profiles' are not used.

This will eventually be hooked up so that calling "make install" from a kernel build will do the right thing.

Is there a pending patch set you can point me to?
