While building a JeOS image for sunxi I found a problem with the current version of dracut (0.37) in factory. It doesn't include the needed kernel module (sunxi-mmc) when creating the initrd. After the first boot the root partition cannot be found. This seems to be already fixed in dracut 0.38 (see bug https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1097301) not only for sunxi but also for other boards. The solutions are:

- Patch the current dracut to include sunxi-mmc (the patch is rather trivial). - Update dracut in factory to 0.38 and squash all the new bugs that can appear.

Our JeOS kiwi files used to have a wildcard rule to include mmc drivers. Personally I add the respective module(s) to my /etc/sysconfig/kernel. The same issue as for MMC exists for AHCI (INITRD_MODULES="ahci_sunxi"). Thanks for the update on dracut.

Dracut does not use it. You should use /etc/dracut.conf.d/*.conf files insead. Guillaume -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org

You should use /etc/dracut.conf.d/*.conf files insead. True, but mkinitrd wraps dracut and did use it last time I tried. Did that change, i.e. are rpm post scripts calling dracut directly now?

Last time I checked, /etc/sysconfig/kernel, was not used by dracut (I mean adding modules deps in this file had no effect). That is why I updated config.sh from JeOS to use new files instead.

Thanks for the update on dracut.

Right, we also have similar logic in place already for other boards. Please check out config.sh :)

Thanks for the hint. I discovered why even though in config.sh there's a line adding sunxi-mmc to dracut, I doesn't work: if [[ "$kiwi_iname" == *"-cubietruck" ]] || [[ "$kiwi_iname" == *"-cubieboard*" ]]; then # Old initrd config file sed -i 's/INITRD_MODULES="/INITRD_MODULES="sunxi-mmc /' /etc/sysconfig/kernel # New dracut (initrd) config file echo 'add_drivers+="sunxi-mmc"' > /etc/dracut.conf.d/sunxi_modules.conf fi I will prepare a SR with all the fixes needed to boot the cubieboard. -- Cheers -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+owner@opensuse.org
