| dracut-038 |
| ========== |
| - "rd.cmdline=ask" will ask the user on the console to enter additional |
| kernel command line parameters |
| - "rd.hostonly=0" removes all "hostonly" added custom files, |
| which is useful in combination with "rd.auto" or other specific parameters, |
| if you want to boot on the same hardware, but the compiled in configuration |
| does not match your setup anymore |
| - inst* functions and dracut-install now accept the "-H" flag, which logs all |
| installed files to /lib/dracut/hostonly-files. This is used to remove those |
| files, if rd.hostonly is given on the kernel command line |
| - strstr now only does literal string match, |
| please use strglob and strglobin for globs |
| - fixed unpacking of the microcode image on shutdown |

| - fstab: do not mount and fsck from fstab if using systemd |
| - break at switch_root only for bare rd.break and not for any rd.break=... |

| |
| Packages should use /usr/lib/dracut/dracut.conf.d rather than |

| - dracut.sh: for --include copy also the symbolic links |
| - man pages: lsinitrd and mkinitrd added |
| - network: We do not support renaming in the kernel namespace anymore (as udev does |
| that not anymore). 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 |

| |
| |

| dracut-0.7 |
| ========== |
| - dracut: strip binaries in initramfs |
| |
| --strip |
| strip binaries in the initramfs (default) |
| |
| --nostrip |
| do not strip binaries in the initramfs |
| - dracut-catimages |
| |
| Usage: ./dracut-catimages [OPTION]... <initramfs> <base image> |
| [<image>...] |
| Creates initial ramdisk image by concatenating several images from the |
| command |
| line and /boot/dracut/ |
| |
| -f, --force Overwrite existing initramfs file. |
| -i, --imagedir Directory with additional images to add |
| (default: /boot/dracut/) |
| -o, --overlaydir Overlay directory, which contains files that |
| will be used to create an additional image |
| --nooverlay Do not use the overlay directory |
| --noimagedir Do not use the additional image directory |
| -h, --help This message |
| --debug Output debug information of the build process |
| -v, --verbose Verbose output during the build process |
| |
| - s390 dasd support |
| |
| dracut-0.6 |
| ========== |
| - dracut: add --kernel-only and --no-kernel arguments |
| |
| --kernel-only |
| only install kernel drivers and firmware files |
| |
| --no-kernel |
| do not install kernel drivers and firmware files |
| |
| All kernel module related install commands moved from "install" |
| to "installkernel". |
| |
| 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. |
| |
