Description of problem: With new release of dracut, dracut-initramfs-restore always fails to unpack the initramfs because it searches for a non-existing file on RHEL. It's selecting line 35 because we have /boot/loader/entries directory, but it should select line 42 instead. New release: -------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< -------- 28 mount -o ro /boot &> /dev/null || true 29 30 if [[ -d /efi/loader/entries ]] || [[ -L /efi/loader/entries ]] \ 31 || [[ -d /efi/$MACHINE_ID ]] || [[ -L /efi/$MACHINE_ID ]]; then 32 IMG="/efi/${MACHINE_ID}/${KERNEL_VERSION}/initrd" 33 elif [[ -d /boot/loader/entries ]] || [[ -L /boot/loader/entries ]] \ 34 || [[ -d /boot/$MACHINE_ID ]] || [[ -L /boot/$MACHINE_ID ]]; then 35 IMG="/boot/${MACHINE_ID}/${KERNEL_VERSION}/initrd" 36 elif [[ -d /boot/efi/loader/entries ]] || [[ -L /boot/efi/loader/entries ]] \ 37 || [[ -d /boot/efi/$MACHINE_ID ]] || [[ -L /boot/efi/$MACHINE_ID ]]; then 38 IMG="/boot/efi/$MACHINE_ID/$KERNEL_VERSION/initrd" 39 elif [[ -f /lib/modules/${KERNEL_VERSION}/initrd ]]; then 40 IMG="/lib/modules/${KERNEL_VERSION}/initrd" 41 elif [[ -f /boot/initramfs-${KERNEL_VERSION}.img ]]; then 42 IMG="/boot/initramfs-${KERNEL_VERSION}.img" 43 elif mountpoint -q /efi; then 44 IMG="/efi/$MACHINE_ID/$KERNEL_VERSION/initrd" 45 elif mountpoint -q /boot/efi; then 46 IMG="/boot/efi/$MACHINE_ID/$KERNEL_VERSION/initrd" 47 else 48 echo "No initramfs image found to restore!" 49 exit 1 50 fi -------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< -------- Previous release is correct because of the checks on line 25-26 which do not apply to RHEL9. Previous release (055-45.git20220404.el9_0): -------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< -------- 22 mount -o ro /boot &> /dev/null || true 23 24 if [[ -d /efi/loader/entries || -L /efi/loader/entries ]] \ 25 && [[ $MACHINE_ID ]] \ 26 && [[ -d /efi/${MACHINE_ID} || -L /efi/${MACHINE_ID} ]]; then 27 IMG="/efi/${MACHINE_ID}/${KERNEL_VERSION}/initrd" 28 elif [[ -d /boot/loader/entries || -L /boot/loader/entries ]] \ 29 && [[ $MACHINE_ID ]] \ 30 && [[ -d /boot/${MACHINE_ID} || -L /boot/${MACHINE_ID} ]]; then 31 IMG="/boot/${MACHINE_ID}/${KERNEL_VERSION}/initrd" 32 elif [[ -f /boot/initramfs-${KERNEL_VERSION}.img ]]; then 33 IMG="/boot/initramfs-${KERNEL_VERSION}.img" 34 elif [[ -f /lib/modules/${KERNEL_VERSION}/initrd ]]; then 35 IMG="/lib/modules/${KERNEL_VERSION}/initrd" 36 else 37 echo "No initramfs image found to restore!" 38 exit 1 39 fi -------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< -------- Additionally, but unrelated, the kernel always complains when the mount of /boot happens: -------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< -------- kernel: sda2: Can't mount, would change RO state -------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< ---------------- 8< -------- This is due to /boot already been mounted (usually), and line 28 (in newer dracut) to fail. It would be nice to check if /boot is already a mount point to avoid this message, which may the admin believe there is something wrong with /dev/sda2 (e.g. it would be corrupted).
