I don't know; I don't see anything being done asynchronously. I think
it's not complicated at all, actually, and isn't grubby's fauilt.
Instead it's simply 20-grub.install doing things in the wrong order. It
calls new-kernel-package times (with the pre-usrmove path):
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package "kernel${flavor}" --install
"$KERNEL_VERSION" || exit $?
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package "kernel${flavor}" --mkinitrd --dracut
--depmod --update "$KERNEL_VERSION" || exit $?
/sbin/new-kernel-pkg --package "kernel${flavor}" --rpmposttrans
"$KERNEL_VERSION" || exit $?
So it calls grubby first and creates the initrd afterwards. The third
call just ends up running
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/51-dracut-rescue-postinst.sh. Which calls
new-kernel-pkg again (WTF?):
new-kernel-pkg --install "$KERNEL_VERSION" --kernel-image "$NEW_KERNEL_IMAGE"
--initrdfile "$INITRDFILE" --banner "$NAME $VERSION_ID Rescue $MACHINE_ID"
I've never seen anything other than the rescue image put on the system
at initial install so I'm not sure at all what that's about. And for
extra fun, the /usr/lib/kernel/install.d/51-dracut-rescue.install script
will run after all of this, though I haven't figured out what that
actually does at this point since it appears to mostly work with the new
bootloader entry system.
The timeline of Primer is less confusing than this.
