I worked around/fixed this by adding /usr/sbin/kexec to /usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/99base/module-setup.sh, but I'm really really not sure if that is a "real" fix. In order for kexec to work, however, it certainly seems like dracut "requires" it. P. but it's already in there! modules.d/99shutdown/module-setup.sh: dracut_install -o kexec Did you install kexec-tools after the installation was done (and the initramfs was created)? (In reply to comment #3) > Did you install kexec-tools after the installation was done (and the > initramfs was created)? Both actually. I installed the kernel (and created the initramfs) and then realized I didn't have kexec-tools installed. I then installed kexec-tools, and rebuilt the initramfs (via make install), but there still isn't a /usr/bin/kexec in the initramfs. P. (In reply to comment #2) > but it's already in there! > > modules.d/99shutdown/module-setup.sh: dracut_install -o kexec Hmm ... When is this executed? During system shutdown? Is it possible that the disks are unmounted by the time this code runs? P.

This affects the initramfs for the kernel you are currently running, not the one you are currently building on. So, after installing kexec-tools, you should run # dracut -f (In reply to comment #7) > (In reply to comment #4) > > (In reply to comment #3) > > > Did you install kexec-tools after the installation was done (and the > > > initramfs was created)? > > > > Both actually.

P. This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
