Some lines in dracut's manpage are just too long for justified
display on 80c terminals. These small corrections fix this. In addition
man --warnings does not complain anymore about anything at all.
New "filesystems" command line/config file option is added with the ability to
control the list of kernel filesystem modules that are included in the generic
initramfs.

ifname=<interface>:<MAC>
Assign network device name <interface> (ie eth0) to the NIC with MAC <MAC>.
Note that if you use this option you *must* specify an ifname= argument
for all interfaces used in ip= or fcoe= arguments
Copy /etc/mdadm.conf to initramfs (even for non-hostonly) if
mdadmconf="yes" is set in dracut.conf or --mdadmconf is specified on the
dracut command line.
This was done, because there seems _no_ sane way to autoassemble md raid
arrays.
also moved rd_NO_MD to an udev ENV
As discussed before, it would be nice to be able to specify
the iscsi chap credentials inside the netroot=iscsi:.....
syntax, this patch implements this in a backwards compatible way, like
this:
iscsi:username:pass@127.0.0.1::3260::iqn.2009-01.com.example:testdisk
iscsi:username:pass:reverse:pass@127.0.0.1::3260::iqn.2009-01.com.example:test
The only downside is that the backwards compatibility is broken when there
is an @ in the iscsi target name (very unlikely), that can still be used,
but only like this:
iscsi:@192.168.1.100::3260::iqn.2009-01.com.example:testdi@sk
--kernel-only
only install kernel drivers and firmware files
--no-kernel
do not install kernel drivers and firmware files
All kernel module related install commands moved from "install"
to "installkernel".
For "--kernel-only" all installkernel scripts of the specified
modules are used, regardless of any checks, so that all modules
which might be needed by any dracut generic image are in.
The basic idea is to create two images. One image with the kernel
modules and one without. So if the kernel changes, you only have
to replace one image.
Grub and the kernel can handle multiple images, so grub entry can
look like this:
title Fedora (2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586)
root (hd0,0)
kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586 ro rhgb quiet
initrd /initrd-20090722.img
initrd /initrd-kernel-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586.img
initrd /initrd-config.img
initrd-20090722.img
the image provided by the initrd rpm
one old backup version is kept like with the kernel
initrd-kernel-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586.img
the image provided by the kernel rpm
initrd-config.img
optional image with local configuration files
