Hi Arne,
I have tried it out on a vm clone running CU199 Testing.
In the readme.txt file I think you meant to have
tar xvaf KERNEL-ARCHIV.tar.xz -C /
instead of
tar xvaf KERNEL-ARCHIV.tar.xz -C \
At least it only extracted for me with the / and not the \.
I then ran the dracut command and got the following messages.
sudo dracut --regenerate-all --force

Not sure about the "module 'initqueue', which can't be installed" bits.
After the above last line I then got
cp: error writing '/boot/initramfs-6.12.58-ipfire.img.tmp': No space left on
device
So I suspect I need to make the IPFire vm disk larger.
The problem was that I made a clone of a system that I had tested out upgrading
from CU150 to CU198 and the boot size was obviously smaller back in CU150 as I
only have 110MB but the more current systems have 488MB so I will create a
clone of one of my newer systems and repeat the test.
Repeated with a newer IPFire vm which had a 488MB boot partition and the dracut
section went fine with no problems beside the initqueue module not being able
to be installed. However that did not seem to cause a problem with the
grub-mkconfig command or the subsequent reboot.
I will evaluate the install tomorrow to check if anything has a problem.

Adolf.

Will give that a try later but would like to know if there is anything I need
to do with regard to the initqueue module that is mentioned in the dracut
output.
Regards,
Adolf.

Thanks,
