[Bug 965477] dracut fails to create initrd, makes systems unbootable

http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=965477 http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=965477#c8 Ivan Topolsky changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- CC| |ivan.topolsky@isb-sib.ch --- Comment #8 from Ivan Topolsky --- Created attachment 665807 --> http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/attachment.cgi?id=665807&action=edit Missing "return 0"

The offending line being line 87 in module_setup.sh:

running_in_qemu && hostonly='' instmods virtio_net e1000 8139cp pcnet32 e100 ne2k_pci

running_in_qemu returns 255 and that makes dracut fail.

Commenting out this line allows the generation of the initrd.

There's a missing "return 0" (=success) statement at the end of the function. Otherwise the function inherits the return status of the last executed statement. In our case - mine and Luca's - we don't run openSuSE Tumbleweed under qemu. So "running_in_qemu" correctly returns 255 as it should (= false) But then "installkernel()" reaches end, while nothing change the return status (Still 255, thus dracut considers it as a failure). If no error happened, status should be 0, hence my patch. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
