The /sbin/installkernel script was moved to the kernel-install-tools package, which is already available for download.

https://code.opensuse.org/package/dracut/c/c7b5d678046f286e9c963d05e7706ddbe05b5a31?branch=master

has
 remove /sbin/installkernel script from dracut package

That came in via
https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/923450
but unfortunately, not with a good git-style commit message that
explains the "Why?"

I wonder if a symlink of installkernel to /usr/bin/true would also work.
