I think I typed to fast. It seems I was still on the older version. I thought I had upgraded but it seems I had not. So, sort of disregard previous message and look at this one instead, which looks pretty dang good in my opinion. root@fireball / # dracut --force /boot/initramfs-3.18.9-1.img Executing: /usr/bin/dracut --force /boot/initramfs-3.18.9-1.img dracut module 'bootchart' will not be installed, because command '/sbin/bootchartd' could not be found! dracut module 'dash' will not be installed, because command '/bin/dash' could not be found! dracut module 'modsign' will not be installed, because command 'keyctl' could not be found! dracut module 'network' will not be installed, because command 'dhclient' could not be found! dracut module 'plymouth' will not be installed, because command 'plymouthd' could not be found! dracut module 'plymouth' will not be installed, because command 'plymouth' could not be found! dracut module 'btrfs' will not be installed, because command 'btrfs' could not be found! dracut module 'crypt' will not be installed, because command 'cryptsetup' could not be found! dracut module 'dmraid' will not be installed, because command 'dmraid' could not be found! dracut module 'multipath' will not be installed, because command 'multipath' could not be found! dracut module 'cifs' will not be installed, because command 'mount.cifs' could not be found! dracut module 'fcoe-uefi' will not be installed, because command 'dcbtool' could not be found! dracut module 'fcoe-uefi' will not be installed, because command 'fipvlan' could not be found! dracut module 'fcoe-uefi' will not be installed, because command 'lldpad' could not be found! dracut module 'iscsi' will not be installed, because command 'iscsistart' could not be found! dracut module 'iscsi' will not be installed, because command 'iscsi-iname' could not be found! dracut module 'nbd' will not be installed, because command 'nbd-client' could not be found! 95nfs: Could not find any command of 'rpcbind portmap'! dracut module 'biosdevname' will not be installed, because command 'biosdevname' could not be found! *** Including module: bash *** *** Including module: caps *** *** Including module: i18n *** *** Including module: dm *** Skipping udev rule: 64-device-mapper.rules Skipping udev rule: 60-persistent-storage-dm.rules Skipping udev rule: 55-dm.rules *** Including module: kernel-modules *** *** Including module: lvm *** Skipping udev rule: 64-device-mapper.rules Skipping udev rule: 56-lvm.rules Skipping udev rule: 60-persistent-storage-lvm.rules *** Including module: mdraid *** Skipping udev rule: 64-md-raid.rules *** Including module: resume *** *** Including module: rootfs-block *** *** Including module: terminfo *** *** Including module: udev-rules *** Skipping udev rule: 91-permissions.rules Skipping udev rule: 80-drivers-modprobe.rules *** Including module: usrmount *** *** Including module: base *** *** Including module: fs-lib *** *** Including module: shutdown *** *** Including modules done *** *** Installing kernel module dependencies and firmware *** *** Installing kernel module dependencies and firmware done *** *** Resolving executable dependencies *** *** Resolving executable dependencies done*** *** Stripping files *** *** Stripping files done *** *** Store current command line parameters *** *** Creating image file *** *** Creating image file done *** root@fireball / # I see lvm stuff with no errors. I'm pretty clueless on init thingys but I think that is a good thing. Thoughts? Am I rebootable again? Dale :-) :-)
