   encrypted root and initrd/GRUB

   Hello!   
      
   I plan to install Slackware with encrypted root using GRUB (no LVM at   
   this time).   
      
   https://slackware.uk/slackware/slackware-15.0/README_CRYPT.TXT   
      
   That mentions that I need to create a special initrd for that case.   
      
   This specifies a kernel version. What happens when the kernel is being   
   updated and the old one removed?   
      
   Do I need to issue this command every time I update a kernel?   
      
   What happens to GRUB?   
   Does it need special handling of that case?   
   Is running grub2-mkconfig enough, like with unencrypted root?   
      
   --   
   kind regards   
   Marco
