Boot screenshot showing white boxes
These "white boxes" are not from dracut.

All firmwares, which are referenced by kernel modules, and which could be found in /lib/firmware/ should have been copied in the initramfs. $ ls /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-5000* /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-5000-1.ucode /lib/firmware/iwlwifi-5000-2.ucode $ ./dracut --add-drivers iwlagn -f -l ./test.img $ lsinitrd test.img|grep iwlwifi -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 353240 Apr 23 2009 lib/firmware/iwlwifi-5000-2.ucode -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 187972 Jun 23 2009 lib/firmware/iwlwifi-4965-2.ucode -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 337400 May 14 2009 lib/firmware/iwlwifi-5150-2.ucode -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 335056 Aug 7 2009 lib/firmware/iwlwifi-1000-3.ucode -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 454608 Jun 2 2010 lib/firmware/iwlwifi-6000-4.ucode (In reply to comment #2) > These "white boxes" are not from dracut.

I'm opening a new bug. Thanks for the commands. (I've been using initrds from genkernel before without white boxes.) FYI I have reported these white boxes to Linux upstream now: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31862 (In reply to comment #6) > FYI I have reported these white boxes to Linux upstream now: > https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31862 Fedora never shows white boxes... must be something gentoo specific. Do you use some splash screen or bootsplash or special boot loader splash? (In reply to comment #7) > Fedora never shows white boxes... must be something gentoo specific. I tried with vanilla 3.6.38, too - same problem. I have the same issue with Fedora 15 This package has changed ownership in the Fedora Package Database. Reassigning to the new owner of this component. |
