Created attachment 598389 [details] dracut --M --force --verbose --debug 2> dracut.err Description of problem: dracut reports 'Dracut module "network" cannot be found.' even though it is installed. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): dracut-018-78.git20120622.fc17.noarch dracut-network-018-78.git20120622.fc17.noarch How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. yum install -y dracut{,-network} 2. dracut --force -M Actual results: 'Dracut module "network" cannot be found.' x4 Expected results: New initramfs is built with the network module included Additional info: dracut.conf and 01-dist.conf are untouched. Our additional custom conf looks like this (note: we only really need nfsroot support from network module and there's no local disks in this setup whatsoever): # Dracut modules to omit omit_dracutmodules+="btrfs crypt dm dmraid dmsquash-live fcoe ifcfg iscsi lvm mdraid nbd" # install local /etc/mdadm.conf mdadmconf="no" # install local /etc/lvm/lvm.conf lvmconf="no"
//etc/dracut.conf.d/10-ethz.conf@2(): omit_dracutmodules+='btrfs crypt dm dmraid dmsquash-live fcoe ifcfg iscsi lvm mdraid nbd' The network module depends on the ifcfg module and you have forced dracut to omit this module. I agree, that the error message could state that and will fix it.
