Description of problem: When specifying only a kernel version, dracut used to (Fedora 25) output to /boot/initramfs-<kernel version>.img, like the manual says, but now (Fedora 26), it ouputs to /boot/<some uuid>/<kernel version>/initrd This makes `dracut --force --regenerate-all` unusable to immediately update all initrds for some system change. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dracut-046-2.git20170811.fc26.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. Run `sudo dracut --force --regenerate-all -v` and watch output filenames Actual results: dracut: *** Creating initramfs image file '/boot/1678929901f946888e479f6fe0aa224b/4.13.10-200.fc26.x86_64/initrd' done *** Expected results: dracut: *** Creating initramfs image file '/boot/initramfs-4.13.10-200.fc26.x86_64.img' done *** Additional info: Tested on fresh install of Fedora 26 "Minimal install" from network install disk <https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/releases/26/Everything/x86_64/iso/Fedora-Everything-netinst-x86_64-26-1.5.iso>. While the path being used *could* be used during boot, GRUB2 configurations are not generated to use these paths. Thus, the following commands will not successfully rebuild configurations to reflect changes in initrd or kernel cmdline configuration: sudo dracut --force --regenerate-all sudo grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/grub2.cfg # or grub2-efi.cfg
dracut-046-3.1.fc26 has been submitted as an update to Fedora 26. https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2017-06960877d0
The pending update fixes the output location, and the VM boots. I did not go through any extensive testing of the dracut modules. $ sudo dracut --force --regenerate-all -v . . . dracut: *** Creating initramfs image file '/boot/initramfs-4.13.10-200.fc26.x86_64.img' done ***
