dracut.conf contains settings for defining, adding or omitting kernel modules from the initrd,
dracutmodules+= add_dracutmodules+= omit_dracutmodules+=
there's no mention of either of
DOMU_INITRD_MODULES= MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT=
both previously inclued in /etc/sysconfig/kernel
the former defines modules to be added only to a kernel-xen instance's initrd
the latter defined those modules to be manually loaded at bootup.
MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT subsequently migrated, http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-bugs/2013-09/msg00192.html, to
/etc/modules.load.d/MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT
the original 'response' to my post specifically asking about those oaraneters suggest that dracut.conf now is to be used.
where are these two parameters, or their new equivalents, documented for use in dracut?
https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/dracut/dracut.html#dracutconf5 explains what to do instead. It's more confusing (aka complicated) but arguably more powerful now using /etc/dracut.conf and/or /etc/dracut.conf.d/: drivers+=" <kernel modules> " Specify a space-separated list of kernel modules to exclusively include in the initramfs. The kernel modules have to be specified without the ".ko" suffix. add_drivers+=" <kernel modules> " Specify a space-separated list of kernel modules to add to the initramfs. The kernel modules have to be specified without the ".ko" suffix. force_drivers+=" <list of kernel modules> " See add_drivers above. But in this case it is ensured that the drivers are tried to be loaded early via modprobe. omit_drivers+=" <kernel modules> " Specify a space-separated list of kernel modules not to add to the initramfs. The kernel modules have to be specified without the ".ko" suffix. I've typically been adding something like 'omit_drivers+="i18n uefi-lib iscsi lvm lvm2 dmraid plymouth resume sata_sil usb_storage "' to dracut.conf on most of my installations since last year some time to reduce initrd size and reduce opportunity for inconsistent resource allocation among multiboot installations and between boot invocations. How valid any particular any of my choices have been are hard to determine, but that's the tradition of documentation trailing behind software evolution. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
