From: Gerd Hoffmann on gitlab.com https://gitlab.com/cki-project/kernel-ark/-/merge_requests/2817#note_1696083562 If you boot with an initrd it will be the initrd not the kernel which handles the root= command line. So maybe mkosi has built-in support for virtiofs, or it passes control back to the kernel for cases it can't handle. dracut initrd's will error out without the virtiofs module. -- _______________________________________________ kernel mailing list -- kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to kernel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/kernel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
