 Posted: Wed Jul 17, 2024 1:18 pm Post subject: [not using it any more]Dracut ignoring options |
 |
|
Like every kernel update I get a non working initrd
First problem:
| Code: | # dracut --force -kver 6.6.35-gentoo-dist --hostonly
dracut[F]: The provided directory where to look for kernel modules (ver)
dracut[F]: does not match the kernel version set for the initramfs (6.6.13-gentoo-dist).
dracut[F]: Set DRACUT_KMODDIR_OVERRIDE=1 to ignore this check. |
I can fix that by setting versions directly via arguments
| Code: | | dracut --force -kver 6.6.35-gentoo-dist --hostonly /boot/initramfs-6.6.35-gentoo-dist.img 6.6.35-gentoo-dist |
But my config is still more or less fully ignored:
| Code: | cat /etc/dracut.conf.d/myflags.conf
add_dracutmodules+=" crypt dm btrfs busybox "
install_items+=" /etc/crypttab /etc/conf.d/dmcrypt /etc/init.d/dmcrypt /boot/key.gpg "
compress=xz |
While it adheres the compression (and changes it, when I change it to gzip). Neither is it including the busybox module nor the 4 files needed for decrypting my root partition.
It also moves all the binaries to /usr/bin like Red Hat does. But keeps the systemd-udevd linking to /bin/udevadm. – Don't know if that is a problem with OpenRC.
Any ideas? Or has anybody an init-system that just works?

Use --kver not -kver
Edit: /etc/conf.d/dmcrypt /etc/init.d/dmcrypt are likely being included (check with lsinitrd command), but won't be used as dracut doesn't know to look for this. It does not use OpenRC at all. |

Use --verbose and then dracut will tell you why it is ignoring those options.

Sorry. This was my fault.

No. It is not included. In looked into it with lsinitrd. Otherwise I would never had the idea that dracut just silently ignores options.
The more important stuff is /etc/crypttab since it is used by dracut-crypt-lib.sh
I am also not happy at all, that it now leaks my root passwords via /etc/shadows even so the /etc/shadow is not used in /etc/passwd.
It also includes no two confs in /etc/cmdline.d/: 90crypt.conf 95root-dev.conf witch don't seem wrong but include the swap partitions which are not needed since linux broke hibernate with its lockdown "feature" anyway. |

| Btw: any alternatives to dracut in gentoo? I don't see initramfs-tools. Genkernel seems for self compiled kernels only? |

UGRD, merged it in the day before yesterday, not sure if it will do everything you want it to do though, its still very fresh.
Genkernels initramfs can indeed only be used with genkernels kernels. Genkernel is slowly being replaced with distribution kernels though, so I don't recommend switching to that.

I do not like to use GURU and masked packages. Documentation is also a bit spase.
On the other hand: ugrd just works and has all the features I ever wanted. Detects btrfs devices correctly, works with gpg, adheres keyfiles. No manual tinkering. All I had to do was specifying the LUKS UUIDs which it wasn't able to detect automatically. Have to figure out a few minor details like autogenerating on kernel updates, generating matching grub entries and keyboard layouts.
But for the time I invested in debuging dracut I can generate/move them manually for the next 500 years. |

It's neither in ::guru, nor masked. As I said, I merged it into ::gentoo this week.

Simply enable the "grub" and "ugrd" flags for sys-kernel/installkernel.

Uh, they write that on github...

Ah cool.
Btw: Why:
| Code: | equery u sys-kernel/installkernel
U I
+ + dracut : Generate an initramfs or UKI on each kernel installation
+ + grub : Re-generate grub.cfg on each kernel installation, used grub.cfg is overridable with GRUB_CFG env var
- - refind : Install a Gentoo icon for rEFInd alongside the (unified) kernel image, used icon is overridable with REFIND_ICON env var
- - systemd : Use systemd's kernel-install to install kernels, overridable with SYSTEMD_KERNEL_INSTALL env var
- - systemd-boot : Use systemd-boot's native layout by default
- - uki : Install UKIs to ESP/EFI/Linux for EFI stub booting and/or bootloaders with support for auto-discovering UKIs
- - ukify : Build an UKI with systemd's ukify on each kernel installation |
vs.
| Code: | equery h ugrd
* Searching for USE flag ugrd ...
[IP-] [ ] sys-kernel/installkernel-39-r2:0 |

That still needs updating after the move.

Btw: Why: |
Because it's a new package and therefore does not have stable keywords yet. Therefore the "ugrd" flag is stable masked. So to enable the flag you'd need to accept testing keywords for both sys-kernel/installkernel and sys-kernel/ugrd.
