Description Marcus Rückert 2011-10-10 15:09:36 UTC

I really wonder why this is done forcefully via gfxboot instead of e.g. via 
/etc/sysconfig/bootloader. For example on servers i will normally not install gfxboot so your hook would fail there. (which is actually good as a workaround to get a sysvinit system!)

"gfxboot --change-config boot::init=/sbin/init" is a bit awkward to change the default init for the distro.

so imho we should move the setting for this to /etc/sysconfig/bootloader and make mkinitrd/gfxboot pick up the setting from there.

/sbin/init is now owned by systemd-sysvinit by default, gfxboot may offer alternative inits in 12.1, but by default is should pass nothing and rely on packaging.

People who want to stick with sysvinit default, need to install sysvinit-init now

Comment 3 Marcus Rückert 2011-10-12 10:29:31 UTC

is this done via update-alternatives or will those 2 new packages conflict?

Comment 4 Stephan Kulow 2011-10-12 10:36:51 UTC

conflict.
