The statements about the initramfs are not up-to-date anymore:


 * Hi, If the statements are not up-to-date then fix them. It's a publicly modifiable wiki... --Maffblaster (talk) 19:07, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Why write your own boot script?
sys-apps/kexec-tools installs its own boot service /etc/init.d/kexec with a config in /etc/conf.d/kexec. Why does this article ignore those files and instead describes how to create one in /etc/local.d/ ? — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Tkzv (talk • contribs)


 * At a guess: Because the boot service is configured to trigger on a system reboot and does not appear to contain any options for setting a kernel to load on a panic.  Tlhonmey (talk) 18:49, 8 July 2016 (UTC)

Remove double quotes?
Hi, I believe there's no need for these quotes after '--append'. It doesn't work with them, but works fine without them. Can anyone else confirm? Is it OK to edit the page? — The preceding unsigned comment was added by Idosch (talk • contribs)


 * Double quotes should not cause any issues with the  option. They may be unnecessary, but they are certainly not breaking anything by leaving them. Please remember to sign your comments when you commit to discussion pages. :) Kind regards, --Maffblaster (talk) 19:05, 8 July 2016 (UTC)
