I haven't looked up how to do that. I thought about that, but this is a substantial alteration from the original ISO in terms of the storage layout and how everything gets assembled. But it's worth a shot. If it is a systemd bug, then it should still reproduce. If it doesn't reproduce, then chances are it's some kind of assembly related problem. Still seems like a systemd-journald bug that neither forward to console nor to kmsg includes any useful systemd or dracut debugging. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ systemd-devel mailing list systemd-devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/systemd-devel
