I'm not sure if this is the correct way, but I tried running this: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/51-dracut-rescue-postinst.sh $(uname -r) \ /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r)* And now I have rescue files again: # ls -latr /boot/*0-rescue* -rw-------. 1 root root 27496022 Apr 8 16:46 /boot/initramfs-0-rescue-...img -rw-------. 1 root root 7860871 Apr 8 16:46 /boot/vmlinuz-0-rescue-... Is dracut supposed to run the /etc/kernel/postinst.d/* scripts automatically? I ran dracut through 'bash -x' and strace and it didn't appear to even look in /etc/kernel/postinst.d The reason I removed the file in the first place is because grub2-mkconfig generates a not-very-descriptive entry in the menu. My grub.cfg now has this: menuentry 'Fedora, with Linux 0-rescue-344...c20' ... { Furthermore, my system is set up to dual boot between Fedora 17 and 19 Alpha, and now grub2-mkconfig has set this rescue image as the default kernel for F17. menuentry 'Fedora release 17 (Beefy Miracle)' ... { ... linux /vmlinuz-0-rescue-344... } That seems a little strange to me.
