Hi,

I just tested the latest Tumbleweed image for my Beagleboard xM and the boot 
fails because the initrd is too big (209M uncompressed) for the RAM.

I'm seeing that pattern slowly emerge across the board. I guess it's about time 
we start to drop the legacy kiwi initrd. Can you try and see if

#define USE_DRACUT_FIRSTBOOT

in Images.kiwi.in works for you? That should also drastically reduce the initrd 
size.

Build fails because jing was not preinstalled. Once preinstalled, I get an 
error about initrd_system and efipartsize attributes not allowed:

Am I missing something?

Let‘s ask Marcus :)

I had a quick chat with him and he showed me a few other points where
our xml description is doing useless things.

However, during that discussion I realized we're not using kiwi-ng, but
instead rely on the old code. That's also why you don't get the dracut
initrd pieces to work.

To build with kiwi-ng, you'll have to modify your prjconf to pull in the
right package. Check out the o:F:A one and just do the reverse in your
project's :)

I've created a small test repo where I've enabled the dracut initrd for
rpi3: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:algraf:arm-kiwi-ng

You need to add this line in your Project config:
    Preinstall: jing
Because kiwi does not install this dep automatically.

Alex, your Project config has a typo:
    Prefer: kiwi-boot-require
should be:
    Prefer: kiwi-boot-requires
with a 's' at the end. ;)

Guillaume

Let's see how that works out ...

Once that's ok, I guess we can switch to kiwi8 in o:F:A and then start
moving beagle to the dracut initrd.

Sounds good.

Guillaume
