+
+On the several occasions when I had tried to boot using systemd/dracut
+it either failed miserably or I had to jump through hoops to get it to
+work.
+
+With the recent work you have done with dracut I have now tried using
+it again.
+
+rpm -e mkinitrd; install dracut-016-1, update systemd to the latest
+40-3;
+use auto-update to bring in all other updates including
+kernel-server-3.2.6-2
+
+Reboot to kernel-server-3.2.6-2 successful.
+So... unless the roof falls in I have now switched to systemd/dracut
+
+
+On another note is anyone looking at services which are not now be
+auto-started with systemd.
+In my case I have to manually start gpm and cups at each boot.
