dracut makes the live initramfs, moving there. upstream commit ea627292383a893062f64c1c949a102d56fac4e5 dracut-024-1.fc18 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 18. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/dracut-024-1.fc18 Package dracut-024-1.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 dracut-024-1.fc18' as soon as you are able to. Please go to the following url: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-16223/dracut-024-1.fc18 then log in and leave karma (feedback). dracut-0.24-1.fc18 is not enough. When using dracut-0.24-1.fc18.i686 as input to livecd-creator, then yenta_socket.ko is available below /lib/modules/$KVER of the running system, but is not available in /syslinux/initrd0.img. (In particular: gzip -d < initrd0.img | cpio --list | grep yenta does not show any 'yenta' modules in initrd0.img.) Thus I cannot put my LIVE root on a device that is accessed via PCMCIA. Does livecd-creator need to do something for me, in addition to what dracut does? (In reply to comment #5) > dracut-0.24-1.fc18 is not enough.

Reassigning to livecd-tools. livecd-tools tries to be smarter regarding the kernel modules than dracut. /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/imgcreate/live.py specifies its own set of kernel modules via "drivers+=''" which forces dracut to use only those kernel drivers instead of the default ones. Created attachment 629620 [details]
add yenta_socket to =pcmcia in live.py
Perhaps =pcmcia should add i82092 and pd6729 also? Those are the other drivers besides yenta_socket in kernel/drivers/pcmcia .
I'm not going to go down the path of adding every module under the sun. If you want to build media with extra modules use the kickstart device command to add them in your kickstart. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Anaconda/Kickstart#device dracut-024-5.git20121019.fc18 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 18. https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/dracut-024-5.git20121019.fc18 |
