Decryption key
End where is the decryption key?


 * No idea what you are talking about, mate. Can you add some clarity to your inquiry? I'll close for now until you do. Thanks! --Maffblaster (talk) 08:24, 18 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Well, I've unsuccessfully spent several hours to figure out where to put the key to decrypt root LUKS partition on boot. No mention about it.


 * The genkernel initramfs expects the encryption key file to exist on an unencrypted device, such as a flash drive, using crypt_root_key= pointing to a file relative to the root of said device and crypt_root_keydev= as the device itself. (Optionally root_keydev_fstype= to load a file system module.)  Also, please sign your comments in the future. --Grknight (talk) 21:35, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

Monolithic Kernel (or Initramfs-Free Kernel)
What should the wiki page title be for building a kernel that is a standalone bootup with no initramfs(/initramd). Just a kernel build toward a straight shooter. Egberts (talk) 23:02, 29 July 2022 (UTC)

`CFLAGS` for Linux kernel
Where can one find the ability to pass an arch-specific compiler settings for gcc/c++ in `genkernel`? Egberts (talk) 16:15, 29 September 2022 (UTC)
