Other than chattr +i, is there any way to prevent initrds of non-latest installed kernels from being rebuilt when updating brings new mkinitrd, udev, mdadm, lvm2, multipath-tools and/or other things affecting what goes into an initrd when it is built?
Multiple initrds for the same kernel version (add something like generation number: initrd-$(uname -r)-$GENERATION, where GENERATION simply increasing every time)? May be it is worth feature request.
Multiple initrds for same kernel version is *not* what I had in mind. I wouldn't be interested in bloating the Grub menu with multiple initrd choices per kernel. What I want is an *option* to keep intact the initrd that got me booted, and all older, and incorporate updates only into the initrds of newly installed kernels, and any that *never* produced a completed boot. For separate reasons, such an option could make https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=786318 a less annoying problem. I wonder if Dracut has already considered this? -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive." Proverbs 16:21 (New Living Translation) Team OS/2 ** Reg.
