Hello Adolf, The initqueue module is probably quite important. As far as I know it kind of replaces some systemd functionality which we don’t have.
But looking at our root file, it is adding some systemd unit files: https://git.ipfire.org/?p=ipfire-2.x.git;a=blob;f=config/rootfiles/common/dracut-ng;hb=d656b7af6411d0306513b853a552f56d6713c174#l484 We might have found a breaking change in dracut-ng if we don’t properly support mdraid any more. Lacking support for btrfs in the initramdisk could be less severe, but that also needs to be tested. @Stefan, will you do this for c199? -Michael > On 11 Dec 2025, at 18:04, Adolf Belka <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi Arne, > > On 11/12/2025 18:28, Adolf Belka wrote: >> Hi All, >> On 11/12/2025 18:20, Adolf Belka wrote: >>> 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 >>> dracut[I]: Executing: /usr/bin/dracut --kver=6.12.58-ipfire --force >>> dracut[E]: Module 'btrfs' depends on module 'initqueue', which can't be >>> installed >>> dracut[E]: Module 'lvm' depends on module 'initqueue', which can't be >>> installed >>> dracut[E]: Module 'mdraid' depends on module 'initqueue', which can't be >>> installed >>> dracut[I]: *** Including module: modsign *** >>> dracut[I]: *** Including module: i18n *** >>> dracut[I]: *** Including module: btrfs *** >>> dracut[I]: *** Including module: dm *** >>> dracut[I]: *** Including module: fs-lib *** >>> dracut[I]: *** Including module: kernel-modules *** >>> dracut[I]: *** Including module: kernel-modules-extra *** >>> dracut[I]: *** Including module: lvm *** >>> dracut[I]: *** Including module: mdraid *** >>> dracut[I]: *** Including module: qemu *** >>> dracut[I]: *** Including module: rootfs-block *** >>> dracut[I]: *** Including module: terminfo *** >>> dracut[I]: *** Including module: udev-rules *** >>> dracut[I]: *** Including module: base *** >>> dracut[I]: *** Including modules done *** >>> dracut[I]: *** Installing kernel module dependencies *** >>> dracut[I]: *** Installing kernel module dependencies done *** >>> dracut[I]: *** Resolving executable dependencies *** >>> dracut[I]: *** Resolving executable dependencies done *** >>> dracut[I]: *** Generating early-microcode cpio image *** >>> dracut[I]: *** Constructing AuthenticAMD.bin *** >>> dracut[I]: *** Constructing GenuineIntel.bin *** >>> dracut[I]: *** Store current command line parameters *** >>> dracut[I]: *** Creating image file '/boot/initramfs-6.12.58-ipfire.img.tmp' >>> *** >>> dracut[I]: *** Hardlinking files *** >>> dracut[I]: *** Hardlinking files done *** >>> >>> >>> 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.
