mkinitcpio: use systemd in initramfs #914

Closed NeroReflex closed 7 months ago

NeroReflex commented 7 months ago

Add systemd in initramfs: this changes the old init program with systemd and also provides a default keymap and font for default initramfs images.

What problem does this solve?

NeroReflex commented 7 months ago

This is part of frzr rework: is required to not specify rootflags in bootloader thus making it much easier to switch kernels and remove a failure point in update while increasing the atomicity of the update procedure itself.

It allows making use of automount feature that will also make hibernation work

Awesome, thanks. Can it be merged safely now?

I don't really know. I have been testing it in my ally and main rig and it works well, however I am unsure frzr-etc will be compatibile. Reworking fstab to include the overlayfs with x-initrd will be much safer option in this case.
