Howdy, I'm going to try to keep my cool but ya know. I built me a updated kernel, 3.18.9 to be more precise. A few weeks ago dracut was updated. It went to version dracut-041. Well, it wouldn't build anything. It spit out a bunch of stuff about not finding things that I know is installed such as lvm2. Example below:
=== Sat Mar 14 16:58:16 CDT 2015 === I: Executing: /usr/bin/dracut -H --force /boot/initramfs-3.18.9-1 I: dracut module 'bootchart' will not be installed, because command '/sbin/bootchartd' could not be found! I: dracut module 'dash' will not be installed, because command '/bin/dash' could not be found! I: dracut module 'modsign' will not be installed, because command 'keyctl' could not be found! I: dracut module 'network' will not be installed, because command 'dhclient' could not be found! I: dracut module 'plymouth' will not be installed, because command 'plymouthd' could not be found! I: dracut module 'plymouth' will not be installed, because command 'plymouth' could not be found! I: dracut module 'btrfs' will not be installed, because command 'btrfs' could not be found! I: dracut module 'crypt' will not be installed, because command 'cryptsetup' could not be found! I: dracut module 'dmraid' will not be installed, because command 'dmraid' could not be found! I: dracut module 'multipath' will not be installed, because command 'multipath' could not be found! I: dracut module 'cifs' will not be installed, because command 'mount.cifs' could not be found! I: dracut module 'fcoe-uefi' will not be installed, because command 'dcbtool' could not be found! I: dracut module 'fcoe-uefi' will not be installed, because command 'fipvlan' could not be found! I: dracut module 'fcoe-uefi' will not be installed, because command 'lldpad' could not be found! I: dracut module 'iscsi' will not be installed, because command 'iscsistart' could not be found! I: dracut module 'iscsi' will not be installed, because command 'iscsi-iname' could not be found! I: 95nfs: Could not find any command of 'rpcbind portmap'! I: dracut module 'biosdevname' will not be installed, because command 'biosdevname' could not be found! I: dracut module 'masterkey' will not be installed, because command 'keyctl' could not be found! E: dracut module 'lvm2' cannot be found or installed. Now after all that, it just stops and doesn't build a init thingy. Nothing gets added to /boot. So, I go back to version 034-r4 and it works as it should, and has before. Example: === Sat Mar 14 18:23:25 CDT 2015 === I: Executing: /usr/bin/dracut --force /boot/initramfs-3.18.9-1.img E: dracut module 'lvm2' cannot be found or installed. E: dracut module 'fstab-sys' cannot be found or installed. E: dracut module 'lvm2' cannot be found or installed. E: dracut module 'fstab-sys' cannot be found or installed. I: *** Including module: bash *** I: *** Including module: i18n *** I: *** Including module: kernel-modules *** I: *** Including module: resume *** I: *** Including module: rootfs-block *** I: *** Including module: terminfo *** I: *** Including module: udev-rules *** I: Skipping udev rule: 91-permissions.rules I: Skipping udev rule: 80-drivers-modprobe.rules I: *** Including module: usrmount *** I: *** Including module: base *** I: *** Including module: fs-lib *** I: *** Including module: shutdown *** I: *** Including modules done *** I: *** Installing kernel module dependencies and firmware *** I: *** Installing kernel module dependencies and firmware done *** I: *** Resolving executable dependencies *** I: *** Resolving executable dependencies done*** I: *** Stripping files *** I: *** Stripping files done *** I: *** Creating image file *** I: *** Creating image file done *** That version at least builds the init thingy for me to use. So, question. Why is the old version working but the new version isn't? Why is it not finding lvm2 when I know it is installed because everything but /boot and / is on lvm? Why does it seem like I went through this once before? Thanks. Dale :-) :-)
