Are you installing Void Linux by any chance?
nope, gentoo (don't ask why i was using dracut)
I tried void some time ago but i didn't really like it
What's the better alternative to dracut? Normally I compile everything into the kernel, but have been having issues with my Intel firmware and need an initramfs.
Genkernel is a good alternative, but you can also write your own initramfs and build it into the kernel. I've had success setting up cryptsetup, lvm, and dropbear ssh by reading the various wiki examples. Not sure about your Intel issue though
