dom0 should work alright if you switch dracut to no-hostonly mode, which (mainly) adds all available kernel modules to the initrd: # echo 'hostonly="no"' >/etc/dracut.conf.d/no-hostonly.conf # dracut --regenerate-all --force Rusty -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQJ8BAEBCgBmBQJZDRwIXxSAAAAAAC4AKGlzc3Vlci1mcHJAbm90YXRpb25zLm9w ZW5wZ3AuZmlmdGhob3JzZW1hbi5uZXQ4NEI1OUJDRkM2MkIxMjlGRTFCMDZEMDQ0 NjlENzhGNDdBQUYyQURGAAoJEEadePR6ryrf0XEP/0rhfOaoIkBxtfH33bPan3iR j7e8THXJZrPR204XwKE6/IWuBEjXEFZ6p5uKO63/cBXCHBiyd+EGnpGBlkOF4S/h CpHVsDcar37nAVse2219uB49d5fYS9rAaZBANRVep9gaSJk7ku5xE7HtXD/1Zsm0 YxsgSnJixhb0TuLD8o4mMzvKGQ1hm1Uw5d9Z5spkCEkI18Xg87kSDhy1n0PdX9og 56XWB8iZkGnCNtSbrizHnBMEopwmDRwXXkGqs4ga/9tAVDa4SLA4nEoQ8jBbMkmS VreSzvJGHv+jnrskE/qQwG8+vlXmexpAx+9gLqGKORxfBxdyXq02EOI0lqulT+Gn +Zc+DN7fSiOa5F5im90ZrYmo0YW40n2FJy6tSJxGGweSJ2ZfqMhuKv+5CfM2Evzb IKfliH9xmPFGw5l4o7RLbHJNiBD2/ZWrOniRFRRdpl2YXVipmuz/TwLyBD345O+S tajtccZdoFbZWghllBv3fK+yLNQF00e203U2SYSG5CEPK6E/uxFOAqskd+8Szir5 pqpms0CF67E1BEJLS0AtONWbT0BVC2RBqm/txQ8Izkh9Iilh4O7a9nirb1AOqyKJ hoeZ/3IzSyTZ/0OymVNjhEExERQNXcCvkMSwQ4VcCcNsAUf9YlgD4EVkugwzAc8w NPIpWWm9OC0idS1pYyNz =rkv/ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "qubes-users" group.
