The initrd shell script had tried to provide an emergency shell whichwas not usable due plymouth. Plymouth had locked the console down and also poped up several times as I've tried to type some shell commands to the bash prompt.

Only the root lines from /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow together with /sbin/sulogin are required. This would require to add /sbin/sulogin to the `#%programs:' line of boot-start.sh and a view lines in setup-start.sh
$tmp_mnt/etc/passwd $tmp_mnt/etc/shadow chmod 0644 $tmp_mnt/etc/passwd chmod 0600 $tmp_mnt/etc/shadow grep ^root /etc/passwd >> $tmp_mnt/etc/passwd grep ^root /etc/shadow >> $tmp_mnt/etc/shadow

Nevertheless AFAIK dracut as successor does not have this sulogin nor the root password feature. And the original problem was/is that plymouth does lock the devices below /dev/console which fools e.g. sulogin as well as the following shell. The question is: How we can make sure that plymouth is really stopped before an emergency shell or and sulogin followed by an emergency shell? For mkinitrd I've used +emergency() { + local plymouth sulogin + if plymouth=$(type -p plymouth 2> /dev/null) ; then + $plymouth quit + $plymouth --wait + fi + if test -w /proc/splash ; then + echo verbose >| /proc/splash + fi + cd / + echo -n "${1+$@} -- " + if sulogin=$(type -p sulogin 2> /dev/null); then + echo "exiting to $sulogin" + PATH=$PATH PS1='$ ' $sulogin /dev/console + else + echo "exiting to /bin/sh" + PATH=$PATH PS1='$ ' /bin/sh -i + fi +} as replacement for all /bin/bash emergency shells. The question is if dracut does the same? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
