Hi Thomas, I was having a look around mkinitcpio today, and I wondered if it would make sense to add support for the same syntax that the kernel supports for the root parameter. It is described here: <http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=blob;f=init/do_mounts.c;h=c0851a8e030cbcf38701f77a5d79e253d81e0327;hb=HEAD#l118>. In particular I was thinking of being able to do "root=PARTUUID=00112233-4455-6677-8899-AABBCCDDEEFF", rather than "root=/dev/disks/by-uuid/00112233-4455-6677-8899-AABBCCDDEEFF". The current syntax works fine for me, but it would be nice to be able to use the same syntax for my custom non-initrd kernels as for the stock kernels. Apologies if this is already possible, a quick git grep did not turn up anything. Cheers, Tom
