In older versions of the dracut ebuild (<sys-kernel/dracut-036), |
| 47 |
DRACUT_MODULES was used to select which modules to install. |
| 48 |
|
| 49 |
In newer versions, DRACUT_MODULES is no longer used; instead, all |
| 50 |
modules are installed every time. That's why you see all the flags in |
| 51 |
parentheses: the flags have been removed from the ebuild, but they are |
| 52 |
effectively enabled now. |
| 53 |
|
| 54 |
Back to your logs, both of them say they cannot find the 'lvm2' |
| 55 |
module. This makes sense because 'lvm2' is not a valid dracut module. |
| 56 |
It seems like 034 just ignores this error, carrying on with building a |
| 57 |
possibly broken initramfs. |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
As far as I can tell, the only way for that missing module message to |
| 60 |
show up is if you have that non-existing module listed in some dracut |
| 61 |
config file somewhere. You should check for stale files in |
| 62 |
/etc/dracut/dracut.conf.d, and in /usr/lib/dracut/dracut.conf.d. |
| 63 |
Remove any reference to the 'lvm2' module in the dracutmodules or |
| 64 |
add_dracutmodules variables. |
| 65 |
|
| 66 |
If you still can't get it working, post the output of dracut --debug |
| 67 |
foo.img somewhere please. Let's stick with dracut-041; I'm not |
| 68 |
interested in debugging an older version. |
