Bug 2185043

Hi all,
Clone one bug 2185794 to RHEL8 as could reproduce on RHEL8.
Thanks,
Lili Du

Hi Dracut team,

The cause of this bug is the previous fix [1] only installed the fs driver (e.g. xfs) but not the block device drivers (e.g. hv_vmbus sd_mod sg scsi_transport_fc hv_storvsc for the case of hyper-v). Personally, I think it's better to fix it in kexec-tools by using the "--add-device" option,
1) kexec-tools calls dracut with "--no-hostonly-default-device" and we are supposed to use "--add-device" to explicitly add devices as needed. Quoting the man page of dracut,
> --no-hostonly-default-device
>    Do not generate implicit host devices like root, swap, fstab, etc. Use "--mount" or "--add-device" to explicitly add devices as needed.

2) It's more robust and cleaner to fix it in kexec-tools than in dracut's fips module.


Do you have any comment? Thanks!


And also thanks Xiaoqiang (xxiong) for preparing the hyper-v and Azure machines and the provided help so I was able to debug this bug and test the fixes.
