I have two TW20240410 installations on the same HDD. One has a boot malady that is solved if I use the other's initrd. This holds for the past several installed kernel versions. The difference in size between the two for a selected kernel version installed to both is 111,428 bytes, with the larger being the one that works correctly. After using lsinitrd on both redirected to files I used diff on those two files, redirected to another file. The diff output file is 138k, useless for the intended purpose. I have determined from the diff that the one that doesn't work is an "Early CPIO image". The bad initrd with "Early CPIO" contains 12288 GenuineIntel.bin, which the good does not. Both installations have identical content in /etc/dracut.d/. 1-What controls whether an initrd is an "Early CPIO image"? 2-How can I determine what is apparently absent from the smaller of the two initrds? -- Evolution as taught in public schools is, like religion, based on faith, not based on science.
