On the ones you want to omit, is there supposed to be a space in there? Should it be like this instead: omit_dracutmodules+="bluetoothd" omit_dracutmodules+="systemd-cryptsetup" omit_dracutmodules+="cryptsetup" It may not matter but then again, it just might. Worth a try I'd guess. Hope that helps. Dale :-) :-) P. S. Finally, someone broke it. ROFLMBO
