/etc/modules-load.d/ for MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT. Dunno where KMS_NO_INITRD went.

blacklisting the video driver will exclude them from the initrd.

I was looking for INITRD_MODULES.

What module is failing to be detected automatically as needed ?

Probably nothing, I just just always check INITRD_MODULES before rebuilding the initrd.

All xen pv guest modules for example.
I'm preparing initrds for PV VMs on the dom0 (chrooted into the to-be-installed rootfs), so being able to select the modules in initrd is helpful.

That sounds like a bug.

/etc/sysconfig/kernel was owned by mkinitrd.. but that was replaced by dracut..I 'm not sure that change is intentional..
In any case if you ever need the functionality that file provided, one step is required:
- Fill a bug report, the need of that configuration file is a bug in itself.
if you really need INITRD_MODULES with dracut, use
add_drivers+=" <kernel module> " in /etc/dracut.conf.d as a drop-in file. example /etc/dracut.conf.d/mymodules.conf
Note that 99.9% of the time..needing any such thing is a bug that needs fixing.

Also, this file, if exists *IS STILL PARSED* and honoured by mkinitrd so it does not break old setups. however it is not created in new installs.

Thanks for the explanation. I still have to get used to using dracut. Previously, ISTR always having to amend INITRD_MODULES with the drivers for the disk-controller plus the root file-system. (often filled in automagically by yast/someone).
As an aside, do we have a migration guide mkinitrd->dracut ? A lot of the mkinitrd stuff is hard-wired into my fingers :-(

Ahh.. that's what this is about then.. if this still occurs, it is a bug!

mkinitrd continue to work as usual, you do not need to change your workflow unless you want to use dracut specific features, for that refer to https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/dracut/dracut.html
