I'm seeing that pattern slowly emerge across the board. I guess it's about time we start to drop the legacy kiwi initrd. Can you try and see if

#define USE_DRACUT_FIRSTBOOT

in Images.kiwi.in works for you? That should also drastically reduce the initrd size. Build fails because jing was not preinstalled. Once preinstalled, I get an error about initrd_system and efipartsize attributes not allowed:

Am I missing something? Let‘s ask Marcus :)

I had a quick chat with him and he showed me a few other points where our xml description is doing useless things.

However, during that discussion I realized we're not using kiwi-ng, but instead rely on the old code. That's also why you don't get the dracut initrd pieces to work.

To build with kiwi-ng, you'll have to modify your prjconf to pull in the right package. Check out the o:F:A one and just do the reverse in your project's :)

I've created a small test repo where I've enabled the dracut initrd for rpi3: https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:algraf:arm-kiwi-ng

You need to add this line in your Project config:     Preinstall: jing Because kiwi does not install this dep automatically.

Alex, your Project config has a typo:     Prefer: kiwi-boot-require should be:     Prefer: kiwi-boot-requires with a 's' at the end. ;) Guillaume

...

Let's see how that works out ...

Once that's ok, I guess we can switch to kiwi8 in o:F:A and then start moving beagle to the dracut initrd.

Sounds good.
