Description John Reiser 2011-12-22 20:53:42 UTC 
Description of problem: Upon booting a DVD for install of rawhide for Fedora 17, then some dracut-related shell complains that pushd and popd are not found.  Either lorax did not pick a good enough shell (pushd and popd are shell builtins), or dracut (or some dracut unit) is assuming incorrectly that pushd and popd are in the shell selected by lorax.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
lorax-17.1-1.fc17.x86_64
dracut-014-9.git20111215.fc17.noarch.rpm
systemd-37-4.fc17.x86_64.rpm

How reproducible: every time


Steps to Reproduce:
1. build, burn, and boot DVD for install of rawhide for Fedora 17.
2.
3.
  
Actual results: During boot, shell complains that pushd and popd are not found.  I see the message on VGA console only, not in dmesg, not in syslog.  Perhaps other problems (selinux is preventing lots of shlibs from working) have prevented logging?


Expected results: no complaints.

Comment 1 John Reiser 2011-12-22 23:18:36 UTC 
The early shell is /bin/dash which lacks pushd and popd.  The [only?] user is:
    /lib/dracut/hooks/pre-pivot/20apply-live-updates.sh
and it is trivial to rewrite that to avoid pushd+popd.
