Having a rd.swap parameter really > would help :-) The SuSE support pointed me to the -no-hostonly option that solved my problem. I really wasn't aware that there are three modes in dracut: a host-only, a non-host-only and a something-in-between mode. Seems strange to me. Why does it make sense to create a initrd by default, that is more generic than a host-only one but not generic enough to run on other hosts by missing e.g. modules like lvm or iscsi and by including host-only references to the swap device? At least the man page should be changed because the explanation of the host-only mode indicates that without this option a generic initrd is created which is not true. cu, Frank -- Dipl.-Inform.
