The dracut packages have been updated to support the new kernel boot option, "rdinsmodpost=[module]", which allows a user to specify a kernel module to be loaded after all device drivers are loaded automatically.
Tested with dracut-004-33.2.el6_0 with rdbreak=pre-trigger rdbreak=initqueue rdbreak=pre-pivot rdshell rdinsmodpost=vfat on the command line. Dracut stopped in several places for debugging. At every step I've inspected /proc/modules to see if vfat module was loaded: pre-trigger: no initqueue: no pre-pivot: yes switch_root: yes Moving to VERIFIED. An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA. For more information on therefore solution and/or where to find the updated files, please follow the link below. You may reopen this bug report if the solution does not work for you. http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHEA-2011-0141.html |
