Description of problem: I'm using fc18 and suspect my system will become unbootable with an initramfs generated by dracut-029-1.fc18.2.x86_64.rpm (latest for fc18). This is because when compared to the initramfs generated by previous version dracut-024-25.git20130205.fc18.x86_64 I see that among others lvm is missing, and I need that because I am using md + lvm. Besides that the initramfs is about twice as big as before and includes lots of unnecessary extra drivers. I just seems it is generating a "default" initramfs instead of one "fit" for my system. One thing I noticed is the absence of /etc/dracut.conf.d/01-dist.conf in the new dracut. For now I reverted dracut, /etc files, initramfs etcetera back to those corresponding with dracut-024-25.git20130205.fc18.x86_64, but meanwhile this restrains me from installing lots of other updates. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 029-1.fc18.2 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. install on a system with md + lvm 2. run dracut -f 3. inspect generated initramfs Actual results: lvm binaries missing Expected results: lvm binaries included Additional info:
This message is a reminder that Fedora 18 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 18. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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 '18'. 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 18's end of life. Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 18 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 change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 18's end of life. 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.
Fedora 18 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2014-01-14. Fedora 18 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.
