I wonder if a good way to go here is actually to use a second cpio.gz with any non-version-dependent and host-specific data like iscsi passwords. They then just get exploded and dracut doesn't (necessarily) need to know that it's two actual initramfs files and it keeps anaconda (eg) from having to regen the initramfs itself Jeremy _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
