Up until now I've not been interested in initramfs in the abstract, so I've only ever used the mkinitrd that comes with redhat/fedora on this setup. As I say in the bug report, it worked in fedora 9, and it only requires a small change of order of the commands in the initrd's init to make it work on fedora 11 -- it includes the right modules. Whether it working on fedora 9 was good management or good luck, I can't say. I'm not sure I understand the import of the question. Given that dracut will produce a working initrd if told what modules to include, isn't it a matter of picking through /sys and such to find what modules are involved in driving the devices that constitute /dev/root and then making sure they are loaded in the initrd? -- Jón Fairbairn Jon.Fairbairn@xxxxxxxxxxxx -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe initramfs" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
