Ah hah. It's the anaconda-cleanup-initramfs service that does it. mkdir -p /boot initramfs=/boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img find /run/initramfs/usr | cpio -co 2>/dev/null | $gzip -c > $initramfs rm -rf /run/initramfs/usr Maybe if we run this service /after/ the generator? Incorrect assumption. The clean up script doesn't whack it, the file doesn't exist in the first place. Dracut images are no longer being ran with a --prefix, so all the content is directly in /, so there is nothing for anaconda to find in /run/initramfs/ any more. Not sure what is going to need to be changed here to make this work again. In F17 we ran dracut with '--prefix /run/initramfs' to make the initramfs available after switch_root. This is disallowed by dracut in F18. So: is there a way to make the initramfs available after switch-root in F18 dracut? Or should we move anything that we want to persist after switch-root to /run/initramfs/state? Or some other location?

Or can you just install the dracut package in the anaconda image and have /usr/lib/dracut/... ? Of course you can still copy files to /run/initramfs as you need them. We decided to add the dracut-lib.sh file back into stage2 and make use of it from there. Lorax and anaconda patches sent. lorax-18.18-1.fc18 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 18. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/lorax-18.18-1.fc18 Package lorax-18.18-1.fc18: * should fix your issue, * was pushed to the Fedora 18 testing repository, * should be available at your local mirror within two days. Update it with: # su -c 'yum update --enablerepo=updates-testing lorax-18.18-1.fc18' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-13600/lorax-18.18-1.fc18 then log in and leave karma (feedback). [anaconda root@sharpie /]# ls /run/initramfs/usr/lib/dracut-lib.sh ls: cannot access /run/initramfs/usr/lib/dracut-lib.sh: No such file or directory (In reply to comment #8) > [anaconda root@sharpie /]# ls /run/initramfs/usr/lib/dracut-lib.sh > ls: cannot access /run/initramfs/usr/lib/dracut-lib.sh: No such file or > directory The lorax update has to go with an anaconda update to use it from the new location. That's on master, so it'll be post-alpha for this issue to be fixed. Use of an updates.img containing commit e8ff240f953963a8b6cbc2d0c54a5b7b1493c29f from master should work though.

It should be looking for /usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/99base/dracut-lib.sh Never mind, I ran this myself. The lorax version needed to make this work is still in updates-testing. I'm not sure if it was used to create RC2 or not. Probably not as this isn't a blocker bug. lorax-18.19-1.fc18 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 18. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/lorax-18.19-1.fc18 lorax-18.20-1.fc18 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 18. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/lorax-18.20-1.fc18 |
