Well to get back to the question at hand.... You said... # dracut -f /boot/initramfs-3.3.8-1.img 3.3.8-1.fc16.i686 F: Failed to install /usr/lib64/hmaccalc/sha512hmac.hmac So, why does dracut need to write anything in /usr/lib64? I am running 32 bit system: # uname -r 3.3.7-1.fc16.i686 First, I don't believe that dracut is trying to write anything to /usr/lib64. It is trying, for some reason, to collect files from /usr/lib64 to place in the initramfs image. Since you said you are running a 32 bit system, that directory should not exist. I asked you to do the rpm command in the off chance that somehow a 64 bit rpm had been installed. Do you actually have a /usr/lib64 ? For some reason you seem to have a knack for damaging your system in weird ways as well as installing packages for which you have no known use. -- Never be afraid to laugh at yourself, after all, you could be missing out on the joke of the century. -- Dame Edna Everage -- users mailing list users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
