I do, but I also use systemd.

The /run directory should be created when installing dbus; it's a tmpfs: # mount | grep /run tmpfs on /run type tmpfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,mode=755) And then it's bind-mounted in /var/run. At least that's how it happens with systemd, and that's the expected behaviour. Did you created your initramfs with dracut? > I checked my Ubuntu virtual machine, which plymouth works well, there is no > /run/plymouth directory in initram file system or real root file system. My initramfs doesn't have a /run directory either: # mkdir kk # cd kk # zcat /boot/initrd-3.2.12 | cpio -i 21514 blocks # ls bin dev etc init lib lib64 proc root run sbin shutdown sys sysroot tmp usr var However, inside /var, there is a symbolic link to /run: # ls -l var total 4 lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 9 Apr 3 12:15 lock -> /run/lock drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Apr 3 12:15 log lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 4 Apr 3 12:15 run -> /run So the problem it's not the existance (or not) of the run directory, I believe; it's the fact that it's mounted really early in the boot process as a tmpfs. So, did you use dracut to generate your initramfs, or did you use genkernel? Or you did it by hand?
