So, if a user wants to use ifname, he has to rename to a custom namespace. "eth[0-9]+" is not allowed anymore. !!!!! - resume: moved the resume process to the initqueue. This should prevent accidently mounting the root file system. - testsuite: add support for: make V=1 TESTS="01 20 40" check $ sudo make V=1 clean check now runs the testsuite in verbose mode $ sudo make TESTS="01 20 40" clean check now only runs the 01, 20 and 40 tests. dracut-020 ========== -

For "--kernel-only" all installkernel scripts of the specified modules are used, regardless of any checks, so that all modules which might be needed by any dracut generic image are in. The basic idea is to create two images. One image with the kernel modules and one without. So if the kernel changes, you only have to replace one image. Grub and the kernel can handle multiple images, so grub entry can look like this: title Fedora (2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586 ro rhgb quiet initrd /initrd-20090722.img /initrd-kernel-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586.img /initrd-config.img initrd-20090722.img the image provided by the initrd rpm one old backup version is kept like with the kernel initrd-kernel-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586.img the image provided by the kernel rpm initrd-config.img optional image with local configuration files - dracut: add --kmoddir directory, where to look for kernel modules -k, --kmoddir [DIR] specify the directory, where to look for kernel modules dracut-0.5 ========== - more generic (all plymouth modules, all keyboards, all console fonts) - more kernel command line parameters (see also man dracut(8)) - a helper tool, which generates the kernel command line (dracut-gencmdline) - bridged network boot - a lot of new command line parameter dracut-0.4 ========== - bugfixes - firmware loading support - new internal queue (initqueue) initqueue now loops until /dev/root exists or root is mounted init now has the following points to inject scripts: /cmdline/*.sh scripts for command line parsing /pre-udev/*.sh scripts to run before udev is started /pre-trigger/*.sh scripts to run before the main udev trigger is pulled /initqueue/*.sh runs in parallel to the udev trigger Udev events can add scripts here with /sbin/initqueue. If /sbin/initqueue is called with the "--onetime" option, the script will be removed after it was run. If /initqueue/work is created and udev >= 143 then this loop can process the jobs in parallel to the udevtrigger. If the udev queue is empty and no root device is found or no root filesystem was mounted, the user will be dropped to a shell after a timeout. Scripts can remove themselves from the initqueue by "rm $job". /pre-mount/*.sh scripts to run before the root filesystem is mounted NFS is an exception, because it has no device node to be created and mounts in the udev events /mount/*.sh scripts to mount the root filesystem NFS is an exception, because it has no device node to be created and mounts in the udev events If the udev queue is empty and no root device is found or no root filesystem was mounted, the user will be dropped to a shell after a timeout. /pre-pivot/*.sh scripts to run before the real init is executed and the initramfs disappears All processes started before should be killed here. The behaviour of the dmraid module demonstrates how to use the new mechanism. If it detects a device which is part of a raidmember from a udev rule, it installs a job to scan for dmraid devices, if the udev queue is empty. After a scan, it removes itsself from the queue. dracut-0.3 ========== - first public version
