Package: dracut
Version: 102-3
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: in.cognit...@arcor.de
Dear Maintainer,
thanks for maintaining dracut for Debian and thanks for the extra
effort of migrating to the dracut-ng upstream! Here is probably
a follow-up issue caused by that ...
* What led up to the situation?
Installation of dracut-ng-based dracut package 102-3.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Called my usual "dracut --quiet --force --regenerate-all" command
to manually regenerate dracut initramfs/initrd images after a
configuration change.
* What was the outcome of this action?
Files being generated with names "initramfs-*-amd64.img" and not, as
previously "initrd.img-*-amd64":
------------------------- snip -------------------------
[~]$ ls -al /boot/
[...]
-rw------- 1 root root 28477336 Jun 19 12:08 initramfs-6.6.15-amd64.img
-rw------- 1 root root 28742400 Jun 19 12:08 initramfs-6.7.12-amd64.img
-rw------- 1 root root 28742715 Jun 18 11:07 initrd-fallback.img-6.7.12-amd64
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 28477398 Jun 18 11:07 initrd.img-6.6.15-amd64
-rw------- 1 root root 28742715 Jun 18 11:07 initrd.img-6.7.12-amd64
[...]
------------------------- snip -------------------------
In above listing, you can nicely see the difference: The files generated
on "Jun 18" have been created by the dracut post-install hooks, the
files generated on "Jun 19" manually.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I would have expected that a plain
sudo dracut --quiet --force --regenerate-all
would create the same files as the dracut post-install hooks.
My dracut configuration, nothing spectacular:
------------------------- snip -------------------------
[~]$ cat /etc/dracut.conf
hostonly="yes"
add_drivers+=" i915 "
omit_dracutmodules+=" i18n "
# avoid warnings because of dependencies on uninstallable
# tpm2-tss
omit_dracutmodules+=" systemd-pcrphase "
[~]$ ls -al /etc/dracut.conf.d/
total 16

drwxr-xr-x 131 root root 12288 Jun 19 12:08 ..
