I have it disabled in my make.conf, why does it suddenly activate itself unless I specify USE='-dracut' when calling emerge?
I doubt dracut works with genkernel's boot parameters, so it's not a drop-in replacement.

dist-kernel with the initramfs flag wants installkernel to use ugrd or dracut.
neither is a drop in replacement for genkernel, but ugrd should automatically configure and handle _most_ things genkernel required a bit of config for.

| Assuming you have USE="-dracut" in your make.conf, I am not aware of a way for an ebuild to produce the result shown in isolation. If you are also merging something else, and that something has a hard dependency on sys-kernel/installkernel[dracut], I could see Portage proposing to enable the flag, but it should have also showed some other output stating that it is proposing the flag to satisfy a dependency. Could you show the full USE line from make.conf and the full command that produced the fragment shown? |

Ehh... PEBKAC.
So, I've been building alternative images for <whatever reason> and then tried updating my system and it turns out I reused the terminal with some leftover garbage in its env. Oh, well, I'll take that outcome over the alternative 
Thanks

Yeah, Dracut seems to prefer /proc/cmdline and also embed /etc/fstab in host-only situations. I mean, it tends to lean to more "hard coded" paths and options. It's like you need to opt-out of specific behavior rather that just telling it what you want. It is a bit too "helpful"? |
