On the ones you want to omit, is there supposed to be a space in there? |
| 55 |
Should it be like this instead: |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
|
| 58 |
omit_dracutmodules+="bluetoothd" |
| 59 |
omit_dracutmodules+="systemd-cryptsetup" |
| 60 |
omit_dracutmodules+="cryptsetup" |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
|
| 63 |
It may not matter but then again, it just might. Worth a try I'd guess. |
| 64 |
|
| 65 |
Hope that helps. |
