OK, I was a little mystified about why dracut-036 worked on my system |
| 17 |
and 037 didn't. Before I tried any workaround, I wanted to know what |
| 18 |
changed from the previous version to the current one. |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
So I generated an initramfs with dracut-036-r4 and another one with |
| 21 |
dracut-037-r1, and I tried to see what changed from one to the other. |
| 22 |
The answer is surprisingly easy: in /etc/cmdline.d/, the following |
| 23 |
files where in the 036-r4 version, but not in the 037-r4: |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
90crypt.conf |
| 26 |
90lvm.conf |
| 27 |
90mdraid.conf |
| 28 |
base.conf |
| 29 |
|
| 30 |
Te contents of those files are (90crypt.conf is empty): |
| 31 |
|
| 32 |
90lvm.conf |
| 33 |
rd.lvm.lv=vg/vol1 |
| 34 |
rd.lvm.lv=vg/vol4 |
| 35 |
rd.lvm.lv=vg/vol3 |
| 36 |
|
| 37 |
90mdraid.conf |
| 38 |
rd.md.uuid=f4a59e68:fbe4039f:a39fc86d:e9e91e12 |
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
base.conf |
| 41 |
ro |
| 42 |
|
| 43 |
So I just changed my /etc/default/grub file: |
| 44 |
|
| 45 |
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="init=/usr/lib/systemd/systemd quiet nosplash |
| 46 |
rd.lvm.lv=vg/vol1 rd.lvm.lv=vg/vol4 rd.lvm.lv=vg/vol3 |
| 47 |
rd.md.uuid=f4a59e68:fbe4039f:a39fc86d:e9e91e12" |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
I regenerated my GRUB2 config, and now again my LVM test system works |
| 50 |
perfectly with the latest dracut version. |
| 51 |
|
| 52 |
The thing is, I *ALWAYS* use the -H (host only) option, so it was my |
| 53 |
understanding that the command line should be automatically generated, |
| 54 |
and it was on 036, but now it doesn't in 037. I think that's a bug. |
| 55 |
|
| 56 |
John, with respect to your case: did you used "dracut --print-cmdline" |
| 57 |
to get the command line? Also, have you tried to use -H to generate |
| 58 |
your initramfs? |
| 59 |
