Hello, I am trying to integrate dracut into Mandriva, so far it looks good but I had to do some modifications in order to have it working. - dracut-003-kbd.patch: we have kbd data in /usr/lib, so this patch will search for /lib/kbd and /usr/lib/kbd and use the existing one - dracut-003-terminfo.patch: same applies to terminfo database - dracut-003-kogz.patch: we use compressed kernel modules, this adds support for those. I actually don't like very much the uncompressing/nm/delete thinghy and I think we should put uncompressed modules in the initrd, which is alreeady compressed, but I did not come up with a clean patch yet - dracut-003-selinux.patch: we dont' use selinux, so it makes no sense to force load policy if selinux is not installed at all. While testing it I also found some issue which I worked around: - dracut-003-umount.patch: some modules call umount, but don't install it. - dracut-003-rdshell.patch: for some unknown reason the emergency shell starts with stderr closed, at first I even tought it was not working at all, then I came up with this hack, which seems to work properly. I also change the prompt to remind which step are we breaking to. and added a feature: - dracut-003-addmod.patch: this makes dracut load kernel module specified in add-drivers even if building an host-only mkinitrd, it is useful in cases where we might change some storage drivers and still don't want to build an enormous initrd (e.g. ahci/ata_piix) latest is a wrapper around dracut with the syntax from mkinitrd, could help transition to dracut. mkinitrd-dracut.sh patches are attached. btw i am unable to git clone from sourceforge: $ git clone -v git://dracut.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/dracut Initialized empty Git repository in /home/bluca/GIT/dracut/.git/ fatal: The remote end hung up unexpectedly Regards, L.
