Package: dracut-install Version: 103-1.1 Severity: important X-Debbugs-Cc: tj.iam...@proton.me
debvm in the last week is failing armhf/armel build tests because virtio_blk kernel module is not installed in the initrd.img. This was reported and help requested by Helmut Grohne on IRC #debian-devel. Builds a week ago succeed [0] but latest builds [1] fail. I've been diagnosing the issue and began by focusing on any packages being installed for the test. That is kernel, udev, initramfs-tools, and dracut-install. I reproduced the issue on a Bookworm amd64 host but Helmut was unable to on an Unstable amd64 host. After instrumenting initramfs-tools with additional log messages it confirmed that the correct list of modules, and module directories, is being passed to dracut-install. I tried adding --debug to gain more insight but it seems to ignore it or not hit any code paths that use log_debug(). However a log from update-initramfs -vu or executing dracut-install directly in the armhf chroot both show it ignores =drivers/XXX entries in the module list. A simple reproducer is: $ apt-get install debvm $ git clone https://salsa.debian.org/helmutg/debvm.git $ cd debvm $ tests/create-and-run.sh armhf unstable 2>&1 | /usr/bin/tee c-a-r.01.log $ # kill the 'stuck' qemu guest process $ mkdir debvm.fs $ ldev="$( /usr/sbin/losetup --find --show test.ext4 )" $ sudo mount $ldev ./debvm.fs $ sudo /usr/sbin/chroot ./debvm.fs/ /usr/lib/dracut/dracut-install --debug -D /var/tmp/ --kerneldir /lib/modules/6.10.6-armmp --firmwaredirs /lib/firmware/updates/6.10.6-armmp:/lib/firmware/updates:/lib/firmware/6.10.6-armmp:/lib/firmware --debug -v -o -m 8139cp =drivers/block acenic dracut-install: mkdir '/var/tmp/usr' dracut-install: mkdir '/var/tmp/usr/lib' dracut-install: ln -s 'usr/lib' '/var/tmp/lib' dracut-install: mkdir '/var/tmp/lib/modules' dracut-install: mkdir '/var/tmp/lib/modules/6.10.6-armmp' dracut-install: mkdir '/var/tmp/lib/modules/6.10.6-armmp/kernel' dracut-install: mkdir '/var/tmp/lib/modules/6.10.6-armmp/kernel/drivers' dracut-install: mkdir '/var/tmp/lib/modules/6.10.6-armmp/kernel/drivers/net' dracut-install: mkdir '/var/tmp/lib/modules/6.10.6-armmp/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet' dracut-install: mkdir '/var/tmp/lib/modules/6.10.6-armmp/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek' dracut-install: cp '/lib/modules/6.10.6-armmp/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/8139cp.ko.xz' '/var/tmp/lib/modules/6.10.6-armmp/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/8139cp.ko.xz' dracut-install: cp '/lib/modules/6.10.6-armmp/kernel/drivers/net/mii.ko.xz' '/var/tmp/lib/modules/6.10.6-armmp/kernel/drivers/net/mii.ko.xz' dracut-install: mkdir '/var/tmp/lib/modules/6.10.6-armmp/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/alteon' dracut-install: cp '/lib/modules/6.10.6-armmp/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/alteon/acenic.ko.xz' '/var/tmp/lib/modules/6.10.6-armmp/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/alteon/acenic.ko.xz' dracut-install: Missing firmware acenic/tg2.bin for kernel module acenic dracut-install: Missing firmware acenic/tg1.bin for kernel module acenic Note how the =drivers/block is apparently ignored here.
