DRACUT_PATH can now be used to specify the PATH used by dracut
to search for binaries instead of the default
/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin
This should be set in the distribution config file
/usr/lib/dracut/dracut.conf.d/01-dist.conf
because some inst*() functions check the existance of the source files
and do not know about the "-H" option, some failed to install the
hostonly files.
When installing OS to a VLAN enabled iscsi LUN (extracted from iBFT), "/tmp/net.{xyz}.has_ibft_config" is not being set properly.
Then anaconda installer requires 'BOOTPROTO="ibft"' populated in ifcfg of the vlan interface (ex: ibft0.20), for it to properly populate the kernel parameters post installation. The setting 'BOOTPROTO="ibft"' is populated by write-ifcfg.sh script only if the corresponding interface has a file /tmp/net.{xyz}.has_inft_config
To get around this issue, in ibft_to_cmdline() function in net-lib.sh file, I made the following changes to populate the has_ibft_config file for the vlan interface(ex: ibft0.20):
inst* functions and dracut-install now accept the "-H" flag, which
logs all installed files to /lib/dracut/hostonly-files. This is used
to remove those files, if rd.hostonly is given on the kernel command line.
This patch adds option "-m|--mod" to lsinitrd to list dracut
modules in the image because sometimes having an option to
only list the dracut modules in the image could be handy.
Sample output:
--------------
[hbathini@localhost dracut]$ sudo ./lsinitrd.sh initramfs-3.11.10-100.fc18.x86_64.img -m

lsinitrd (and hence dracut) currently fail to list the contents of any
LZO-compressed image, and merely spit out misleading xzcat errors.
I guess no-one actually uses them.
rd.iscsi.ibft[=1] should be used instead.
Thing is, 'ip=ibft' is not really an ip setting, but rather a marker
that iBFT should be evaluated.
Also removed the trigger of the warning:
"Warning: Please supply bootdev argument for multiple ip= lines"
When a bonded interface is brought up, any slaves included in the bond
have their hardware address set to that of the bond master. Although
this allows an interface to be brought up on start up, when the
configuration file is imported into the booted system it prevents
the bonded interface being successfully restarted.
The fix involves obtaining the hardware address of the slaves before
they are added to the bond and then using this value in the
configuration file.
Currently the block driver detection for generic initrd doesn't include
the SD/MMC drivers so we fail to boot generic images on any device using
those platforms as boot devices when using a generic initrd. Add logic
to detect those modules. This primarily fixes embedded ARM devices but
also likely intel tablets/dev boards and enterprise hypervisors that
have the ability to boot from SD.
Also the ahci_init_controller misses a number of drivers that use the
libahci_platform module for the init so this fixes some missing achi
moduless too.
Finally it cleans up the ARM storage module hacks that the above now
deals with in a more generic manner.
