Hey, I was wondering how to use the command.
Code:
dracut --kver=6.6.21-gentoo
I think that I'm using it wrong but I just can't figure out how to use it. I already have the dracut use flag enabled but it seems like it didn't work. I simply have not been able to get dracut to work at all. I even tried to manually install but when I checked for dracut with
Code:
ls /boot/initramfs*
I simply got a message stating
Code:
ls: cannot access '/boot/initramfs*': No such file or directory
I am really confused and don't have any idea what to do.

Just for reference, I'm installing Gentoo with the minimal installation CD. I am also using an intel-based 2011 ASUS (E56U). I don't know if that information is helpful but I thought that I might just put it out there.

Kind regards,

Also when I typed out
Code:
dracut --kver=linux-6.6.30-gentoo
I received two errors
Code:
dracut[F]: Cannot find module directory /lib/modules/linux-6.6.30/gentoo/
and
Code:
dracut[F]: and --no-kernel was not specified
then to check and see what was inside the /lib/modules file/directory is used
Code:
ls /lib/modules
but it spat out another error
Code:
ls: cannot access '/lib/modules': No such file or directory
I don't know what I did wrong so that it isn't there but then I looked in /usr/src/ with
Code:
ls /usr/src
and it gave me two valid outputs
Code:
linux
and
Code:
linux-6.6.30-gentoo
if you have any idea what I am doing wrong or if I need to just reinstall the kernel please let me know.
