 Posted: Thu Dec 15, 2022 2:26 pm Post subject: [SOLVED] Dracut not including necessary files for booting |
 |
|
Hi all,
Here's how I have my boot setup:
EFI->Dracut EFI STUB blob->OpenRC (Or how I think I have it setup  )
For some reason, it seems that dracut is no longer including the necessary files for booting in the initramfs anymore. It's even missing /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2!
Here's some data I believe might be helpful:
lsinitrd on the current, working kernel/initramfs:
http://0x0.st/onxK.efi;
lsinitrd on the new, non-bootable kernel/initramfs:
http://0x0.st/onxP.efi;
The command I use for generating the bootable image is the following:
| Code: |
vhns@gen2lap ~ $ doas dracut --kver=5.15.80-gentoo-vhns-dell-laptop-nopreempt-teste --force
|
Here are the dracut options I use:
| Code: |
vhns@gen2lap ~ $ cat /etc/dracut.conf /etc/dracut.conf.d/*
# PUT YOUR CONFIG IN separate files
# in /etc/dracut.conf.d named "<name>.conf"
# SEE man dracut.conf(5) for options
force_drivers=" evdev ahci sd_mod dm-mod dm-crypt i915 usbcore xhci-pci hid hid-generic usbhid serio i8042 ext4 vfat "
compress="zstd"
early_microcode="yes"
#fileloglvl="6"
#force_add_dracutmodules=" crypt dm "
#hostonly_cmdline="yes"
#hostonly="yes"
#kernel_cmdline="rd.shell rd.luks.uuid=luks-919d9f12-8a21-4e37-bc29-56a32e2dfc8d rd.lvm.lv=deblappy-vg/gentoo rd.debug log_buf_len=1M root=/dev/mapper/deblappy--vg-gentoo rootfstype=xfs rootflags=rw,relatime,attr2,inode64,logbufs=8,logbsize=32k,noquota"
#kernel_cmdline=" rd.luks.uuid=luks-919d9f12-8a21-4e37-bc29-56a32e2dfc8d rd.lvm.lv=deblappy-vg/gentoo root=/dev/mapper/deblappy--vg-gentoo rootfstype=xfs rootflags=rw,relatime,attr2,inode64,logbufs=8,logbsize=32k,noquota"
logfile="/var/log/dracut.log"
machine_id="no"
early_microcode="yes"
uefi="yes"
uefi_stub="/usr/lib/systemd/boot/efi/linuxx64.efi.stub"
vhns@gen2lap ~ $
|
And here are the kernels .configs:
Working:
http://0x0.st/onxq.gz;
"Broken":
http://0x0.st/onxb.txt
Here's a video of the normal, working bootup process:
https://u.teknik.io/Mt1MM.mp4
And here's the borked one:
https://u.teknik.io/lHPN9.mp4
If any other info is needed helpful, I'd be glad to provide it.
Best regards,
vhns

Hi
Plz copy the kernel and initramfs into
/boot/EFI<>/
or
/boot/efi/EFI/<>/
then run something similar to
| Code: |
efibootmgr --create --disk /dev/sdX --part Y --label "Arch Linux" --loader /vmlinuz-linux --unicode 'root=block_device_identifier rw initrd=\initramfs-linux.img'
|

Hi! I don't believe that to be the issue, as I already have the proper EFI boot entries setup.
Here they are

Are these
| Code: |
linux-5.15.80-gentoo-vhns-dell-laptop-nopreempt-virt.efi)
|
kernels?
or efi binaries?
If kernels you need to also provide initramfs if your setup requires one.
If efi binaries renamed then you need grub kernel and initramfs--not efi stub setup..

They're UEFI executables which include the kernel and the initramfs. They're generated by dracut. As per dracut.conf(5)
| Code: |
uefi="{yes|no}"
Instead of creating an initramfs image, dracut will create an UEFI executable, which can be executed by an UEFI BIOS (default=no). The default output filename is
<EFI>/EFI/Linux/linux-$kernel$-<MACHINE_ID>-<BUILD_ID>.efi. <EFI> might be /efi, /boot or /boot/efi depending on where the ESP partition is mounted. The <BUILD_ID> is taken
from BUILD_ID in /usr/lib/os-release or if it exists /etc/os-release and is left out, if BUILD_ID is non-existant or empty.

it's a single blob that includes everything necessary for booting. You can see what it includes in the outputs of lsinitrd that I included in the first post. |

| I am very sorry for pestering the forum with this. I turned out to be a case of PEBKAC. I am used to running non-multilib profiles, so I had IA32 support disabled in the kernel. This made it so that ldd would throw errors for lib/ld-linux.so.2, which made it so that dracut wouldn't include a bunch of programs, as it found errors with a shared object common amongst them. The reason I had managed to create a bootable UEFI executable that worked, was because I generated it from another system, with a kernel that had IA32 support enabled (A Debian stable logical volume in the same device). Enabling IA32 support fixed the issue. |
