If you are "going stock", Linda, then you should be using Dracut to build the initrd.

It is the default. If you are doing a standard install from the DVD, you don't have a choice.
Is that something setup-users are expected to know?
No. Assuming you are doing a fresh install from DVD, using YaST, you have no reason to configure dracut; YaST should do all the needed configuration for you. If you are telling the partitioner to do an LVM setup, thin or whatever, YaST should know if dracut has to be told about it. If the system doesn't boot because it lacks some modules in the initrd, then it is a bug and you should report that in Bugzilla, with info enough to reproduce the problem. The procedure for repair would be to boot a rescue system, mount your new system on it (bind mount /proc, /sys, /dev), chroot, edit the modules in /etc/modules-load.d/ as Per mentioned, and then simply run "mkinitrd". That should be all. Then reboot to try. But as I don't use LVM I can't be 100% certain. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 42.2 x86_64 "Malachite" at Telcontar)
