RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Jan 2016-06-20 11:38:47 UTC
Description of problem:
While installing the system, the kmod package is installed but not all links it should provide are present. modinfo command is missing.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
dracut-033-359.el7

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. When installing the system add rd.break=pre-pivot to boot options and start installation
2. run modinfo command when prompt is shown (e.g. "pre-pivot:/# modinfo -h")

Actual results:
Call results in "sh: modinfo: command not found"

Expected results:
modinfo command is executed

Additional info:
Bug found on RHEL 7.2, Fedora does not seem to have this problem.

kmod provides functionality of modinfo (as well as for e.g. modprobe and depmod) via link file. "ln -s /usr/bin/kmod /usr/sbin/modinfo" fixes the problem

Comment 2 Jan 2016-06-22 07:44:07 UTC
Based on discussion with dracut team, there is a working way how to bypass this issue.
Closing the bug...
