Description of problem: After a rawhide install completes, there is no initramfs created. Attempting to create it manually from tty2 shows that it fails because 'less' is not installed. Installing 'less' allows dracut to complete Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): * dracut-008-0.11.gitb2415f4.fc15 Steps to Reproduce: 1. Download rawhide boot.iso linked from test day page (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-01-27_Network_Device_Naming_With_Biosdevname#Install_Rawhide) 2. Boot installer using updates.img (required and also linked on the test day page) 3. Select @minimal package set 4. Complete installation Actual results: System fails to boot. No initramfs was created. Expected results: Initramfs is created Additional info:
= Workaround = 1. Prior to rebooting the installer, change to tty2 (<ctrl><alt>F2) 2. chroot /mnt/sysimage /bin/su - 3. dracut /boot/initramfs-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r) 4. cat <<EOF >>/etc/grub.conf initrd /initramfs-$(uname -r).img EOF
