It's prepended to the normal initramfs. What does lsinitrd have for output? It should look something like: [jwboyer@lando linux]$ lsinitrd /boot/initramfs-3.17.2-300.fc21.x86_64.img Image: /boot/initramfs-3.17.2-300.fc21.x86_64.img: 18M ======================================================================== Early CPIO image ======================================================================== drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Oct 30 14:26 . -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2 Oct 30 14:26 early_cpio drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Oct 30 14:26 kernel drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 0 Oct 30 14:26 kernel/x86 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Oct 30 14:26 kernel/x86/microcode -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 19456 Oct 30 14:26 kernel/x86/microcode/GenuineIntel.bin ======================================================================== Version: dracut-038-30.git20140903.fc21 Arguments: -f dracut modules: bash i18n <lots of output after> If it doesn't look like that, then something is indeed odd. > If I generate a new image with 'dracut -f', I get something that looks > a lot more sane... > > # dracut -f > # zcat initramfs-3.17.1-302.fc21.x86_64.img | cpio -it > [...671 lines of output...] > > The image still boots correctly in my OpenStack environment but I > suspect this will cause problems for someone. Could you fpaste that output somewhere? Dracut should still default to creating an initramfs with the early ucode payload. josh _______________________________________________ cloud mailing list cloud@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/cloud Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
