[Bug 1202351] New: dracut: remove mkinitrd wrapper
https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1202351 Bug ID: 1202351 Summary: dracut: remove mkinitrd wrapper Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem Assignee: dracut-maintainers@suse.de Reporter: antonio.feijoo@suse.com QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- Upstream support removed in March 2021 (https://github.com/dracutdevs/dracut/commit/43df4ee2) and deprecation announcement on factory mailing list in May 2021 (https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/thread/G...). ALP will not ship the mkinitrd wrapper, so it's better to get rid of it in Tumbleweed first.

I also found references to mkinitrd in mkdumprd and the USE_MKINITRD config option, although it is not required by the kdump package. Does kdump need some tweaking too?
yes, the mkdumprd script needs tweaking kdumptool, on the other hand does not - the string "mkinitrd" and USE_MKINITRD just define which kdump options are applicable for which part kdumptool's job; "initrd" refers to the phase where the kdump initramfs is being build, regardless of which program is used to do so. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

- yast2-kdump
/usr/share/YaST2/modules/Kdump.rb:419: update_command = (using_fadump? ? "/usr/sbin/mkdumprd -f" : "/sbin/mkinitrd")
this pece of yast2-kdump code does not make sense to me; it should just call mkdumprd and it will decide whether fadump or non-fadump initrd is to be generated -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
