Are you installing Void Linux by any chance?
nope, gentoo (don’t ask why i was using dracut)
I tried void some time ago but i didn’t really like it
What’s the better alternative to dracut? Normally I compile everything into the kernel, but have been having issues with my Intel firmware and need an initramfs.
I really like Alpine’s mkinitfs. It seems like the most straightforward approach IMO.
Genkernel is a good alternative generator, but you can also write your own initramfs and build it into the kernel. A custom initramfs (see also) is pretty flexible- I’ve had success setting up cryptsetup, lvm, and dropbear sshd by reading the various wiki examples. Not sure about your Intel issue though
i like booster because its fast and comes with arch, though when i’m building my own kernels i pull a yes2modconfig and only bake in my rootfs of choice into the kernel so i can go initramfs-less. i don’t do anything complicated like encryption though so ymmv
I’m using genkernel now. This way there are less thing to configure
I’d compile everything into the kernel too, but i’m using ecryption because it’s my laptop, so I can’t really do it
