|
To set the default font for your distribution, add |

|
|
|
/usr/lib/dracut/dracut.conf.d/*.conf can be overwritten by the same |
|
filenames in /etc/dracut.conf.d. |
|
|
|
Packages should use /usr/lib/dracut/dracut.conf.d rather than |
|
/etc/dracut.conf.d for drop-in configuration files. |
|
|
|
/etc/dracut.conf and /etc/dracut.conf.d belong to the system administrator. |
|
|

dracut-022 |
|
========== |
|
- fixed host-only kernel module bug |
|
|
|
dracut-021 |
|
========== |
|
- fixed systemd in the initramfs (requires systemd >= 187) |
|
- dracut-install: massive speedup with /var on the same filesystem with COW copy |
|
- dracut-install: moved to /usr/lib/dracut until it becomes a general purpose tool |
|
- new options: "rd.usrmount.ro" and "rd.skipfsck" |
|
- less mount/umount |
|
- apply "ro" on the kernel command line also to /usr |
|
- mount according to fstab, if neither "ro" or "rw" is specified |
|
- skip fsck for xfs and btrfs. remount is enough |
|
- give emergency_shell if /usr mount failed |
|
- dracut now uses getopt: |
|
* options can be position independent now!! |
|
* we can now use --option=<arg> |
|
- added option "--kver=<kernel-version>", and the image location can be omitted |
|
# dracut --kver 3.5.0-0.rc7.git1.2.fc18.x86_64 |
|
- dracut.sh: for --include copy also the symbolic links |
|
- man pages: lsinitrd and mkinitrd added |
|
- network: We do not support renaming in the kernel namespace anymore (as udev does |
|
that not anymore). So, if a user wants to use ifname, he has to rename |
|
to a custom namespace. "eth[0-9]+" is not allowed anymore. !!!!! |
|
- resume: moved the resume process to the initqueue. |
|
This should prevent accidently mounting the root file system. |
|
- testsuite: add support for: make V=1 TESTS="01 20 40" check |
|
$ sudo make V=1 clean check |
|
now runs the testsuite in verbose mode |
|
|
|
$ sudo make TESTS="01 20 40" clean check |
|
now only runs the 01, 20 and 40 tests. |
|

dracut-001 |
|
========== |
|
- better --hostonly checks |
|
- better lvm/mdraid/dmraid handling |
|
- fcoe booting support |
|
Supported cmdline formats: |
|
fcoe=<networkdevice>:<dcb|nodcb> |
|
fcoe=<macaddress>:<dcb|nodcb> |
|
|
|
Note currently only nodcb is supported, the dcb option is reserved for |
|
future use. |
|
|
|
Note letters in the macaddress must be lowercase! |
|
|
|
Examples: |
|
fcoe=eth0:nodcb |
|
fcoe=4A:3F:4C:04:F8:D7:nodcb |
|
|
|
- Syslog support for dracut |
|
This module provides syslog functionality in the initrd. |
|
This is especially interesting when complex configuration being |
|
used to provide access to the device the rootfs resides on. |
|
|
|
|
|
dracut-0.9 |
|
========== |
|
- let plymouth attach to the terminal (nice text output now) |
|
- new kernel command line parameter "rdinfo" show dracut output, even when |
|
"quiet" is specified |
|
- rd_LUKS_UUID is now handled correctly |
|
- dracut-gencmdline: rd_LUKS_UUID and rd_MD_UUID is now correctly generated |
|
- now generates initrd-generic with around 15MB |
|
- smaller bugfixes |
|
|
|
dracut-0.8 |
|
========== |
|
- iSCSI with username and password |
|
- support for live images (dmsquashed live images) |
|
- iscsi_firmware fixes |
|
- smaller images |
|
- bugfixes |
|
|
|
dracut-0.7 |
|
========== |
|
- dracut: strip binaries in initramfs |
|
|
|
--strip |
|
strip binaries in the initramfs (default) |
|
|
|
--nostrip |
|
do not strip binaries in the initramfs |
|
- dracut-catimages |
|
|
|
Usage: ./dracut-catimages [OPTION]... <initramfs> <base image> |
|
[<image>...] |
|
Creates initial ramdisk image by concatenating several images from the |
|
command |
|
line and /boot/dracut/ |
|
|
|
-f, --force Overwrite existing initramfs file. |
|
-i, --imagedir Directory with additional images to add |
|
(default: /boot/dracut/) |
|
-o, --overlaydir Overlay directory, which contains files that |
|
will be used to create an additional image |
|
--nooverlay Do not use the overlay directory |
|
--noimagedir Do not use the additional image directory |
|
-h, --help This message |
|
--debug Output debug information of the build process |
|
-v, --verbose Verbose output during the build process |
|
|
|
- s390 dasd support |
|
|
|
dracut-0.6 |
|
========== |
|
- dracut: add --kernel-only and --no-kernel arguments |
|
|
|
--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-kernel-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586.img /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 |
|
|
|
- dracut: add --kmoddir directory, where to look for kernel modules |
|
|
|
-k, --kmoddir [DIR] |
|
specify the directory, where to look for kernel modules |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
dracut-0.5 |
|
========== |
|
- more generic (all plymouth modules, all keyboards, all console fonts) |
|
- more kernel command line parameters (see also man dracut(8)) |
|
- a helper tool, which generates the kernel command line (dracut-gencmdline) |
|
- bridged network boot |
|
- a lot of new command line parameter |
|
|
|
dracut-0.4 |
|
========== |
|
- bugfixes |
|
- firmware loading support |
|
- new internal queue (initqueue) |
|
initqueue now loops until /dev/root exists or root is mounted |
|
|
|
init now has the following points to inject scripts: |
|
|
|
/cmdline/*.sh |
|
scripts for command line parsing |
|
|
|
/pre-udev/*.sh |
|
scripts to run before udev is started |
|
|
|
/pre-trigger/*.sh |
|
scripts to run before the main udev trigger is pulled |
|
|
|
/initqueue/*.sh |
|
runs in parallel to the udev trigger |
|
Udev events can add scripts here with /sbin/initqueue. |
|
If /sbin/initqueue is called with the "--onetime" option, the script |
|
will be removed after it was run. |
|
If /initqueue/work is created and udev >= 143 then this loop can |
|
process the jobs in parallel to the udevtrigger. |
|
If the udev queue is empty and no root device is found or no root |
|
filesystem was mounted, the user will be dropped to a shell after |
|
a timeout. |
|
Scripts can remove themselves from the initqueue by "rm $job". |
|
|
|
/pre-mount/*.sh |
|
scripts to run before the root filesystem is mounted |
|
NFS is an exception, because it has no device node to be created |
|
and mounts in the udev events |
|
|
|
/mount/*.sh |
|
scripts to mount the root filesystem |
|
NFS is an exception, because it has no device node to be created |
|
and mounts in the udev events |
|
If the udev queue is empty and no root device is found or no root |
|
filesystem was mounted, the user will be dropped to a shell after |
|
a timeout. |
|
|
|
/pre-pivot/*.sh |
|
scripts to run before the real init is executed and the initramfs |
|
disappears |
|
All processes started before should be killed here. |
|
|
|
The behaviour of the dmraid module demonstrates how to use the new |
|
mechanism. If it detects a device which is part of a raidmember from a |
|
udev rule, it installs a job to scan for dmraid devices, if the udev |
|
queue is empty. After a scan, it removes itsself from the queue. |
