during generation of initrd and during boot of the system with the generated initrd we see errors such as: root@m1001:/root> dracut /boot/test.img $(uname -r) Executing: /usr/bin/dracut /boot/test.img 3.10.62-ltsi-rt55-WR6.0.0.17_preempt-rt *** Including module: bash *** *** Including module: i18n *** cp: cannot stat '/consolefonts/*': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat '/consoletrans/*': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat '/keymaps/*': No such file or directory cp: cannot stat '/unimaps/*': No such file or directory *** Including module: network *** *** Including module: dm *** Skipping udev rule: 10-dm.rules Skipping udev rule: 13-dm-disk.rules Skipping udev rule: 95-dm-notify.rules Skipping udev rule: 64-device-mapper.rules Skipping udev rule: 60-persistent-storage-dm.rules Skipping udev rule: 55-dm.rules *** Including module: kernel-modules *** *** Including module: lvm *** Skipping udev rule: 11-dm-lvm.rules Skipping udev rule: 69-dm-lvm-metad.rules grep: /var/tmp/initramfs.rp1dCo/lib/udev/rules.d/69-dm-lvm-metad.rules: No such file or directory sed: can't read /var/tmp/initramfs.rp1dCo/lib/udev/rules.d/69-dm-lvm-metad.rules: No such file or directory Skipping udev rule: 64-device-mapper.rules Skipping udev rule: 56-lvm.rules Skipping udev rule: 60-persistent-storage-lvm.rules *** Including module: mdraid *** dracut-install: ERROR: installing '/sbin/partx' /usr/lib/dracut/dracut-install -D /var/tmp/initramfs.rp1dCo /sbin/partx Skipping udev rule: 63-md-raid-arrays.rules Skipping udev rule: 64-md-raid-assembly.rules Skipping program /sbin/partx using in udev rule 65-md-incremental-imsm.rules as it cannot be found *** Including module: nfs *** *** Including module: resume *** *** Including module: rootfs-block *** *** Including module: terminfo *** *** Including module: udev-rules *** Skipping udev rule: 91-permissions.rules Skipping udev rule: 80-drivers-modprobe.rules *** Including module: usrmount *** *** Including module: base *** /etc/os-release: line 2: River: command not found /etc/os-release: line 5: River: command not found *** Including module: fs-lib *** *** Including module: shutdown *** *** Including modules done *** *** Installing kernel module dependencies and firmware *** *** Installing kernel module dependencies and firmware done *** *** Resolving executable dependencies *** *** Resolving executable dependencies done*** *** Pre-linking files *** WRAPPER ERROR: Couldn't find 'i686-wrs-linux-gnu-prelink' in path. *** Pre-linking files done *** *** Stripping files *** *** Stripping files done *** *** Store current command line parameters *** *** Creating image file *** *** Creating image file done *** during boot we see errors that /sbin/dmsetup could not be found. Which is correct as this located in /usr/sbin/dmsetup in the initrd image. Expected Behavior dracut must be able to generate initrd images without errors. during boot time when the initrd image we should not have scripts complaining that binaries can not be found Steps To Reproduce - install system - generate initrd with dracut; dracut $INITRD_FILENAME $(uname -r) - boot system with generated initrd (change grub config if necessary)
