76 | dracut-001 |
77 | ========== | |
78 | - better --hostonly checks | |
79 | - better lvm/mdraid/dmraid handling | |
80 | - fcoe booting support | |
81 | Supported cmdline formats: | |
82 | fcoe=<networkdevice>:<dcb|nodcb> | |
83 | fcoe=<macaddress>:<dcb|nodcb> | |
84 | ||
85 | Note currently only nodcb is supported, the dcb option is reserved for | |
86 | future use. | |
87 | ||
88 | Note letters in the macaddress must be lowercase! | |
89 | ||
90 | Examples: | |
91 | fcoe=eth0:nodcb | |
92 | fcoe=4A:3F:4C:04:F8:D7:nodcb | |
93 | ||
94 | - Syslog support for dracut | |
95 | This module provides syslog functionality in the initrd. | |
96 | This is especially interesting when complex configuration being | |
97 | used to provide access to the device the rootfs resides on. | |

104 | "quiet" is specified | |
105 | - rd_LUKS_UUID is now handled correctly | |
106 | - dracut-gencmdline: rd_LUKS_UUID and rd_MD_UUID is now correctly generated | |
107 | - now generates initrd-generic with around 15MB | |
108 | - smaller bugfixes | |
109 | ||
0de91060 HH |
110 | dracut-0.8 |
111 | ========== | |
112 | - iSCSI with username and password | |
113 | - support for live images (dmsquashed live images) | |
114 | - iscsi_firmware fixes | |
115 | - smaller images | |
116 | - bugfixes | |
117 | ||
118 | dracut-0.7 | |
119 | ========== | |
120 | - dracut: strip binaries in initramfs | |
121 | ||
122 | --strip | |
123 | strip binaries in the initramfs (default) | |
124 | ||
125 | --nostrip | |
126 | do not strip binaries in the initramfs | |
127 | - dracut-catimages | |
128 | ||
129 | Usage: ./dracut-catimages [OPTION]... <initramfs> <base image> | |
130 | [<image>...] | |
131 | Creates initial ramdisk image by concatenating several images from the | |
132 | command | |
133 | line and /boot/dracut/ | |
134 | ||
135 | -f, --force Overwrite existing initramfs file. | |
136 | -i, --imagedir Directory with additional images to add | |
137 | (default: /boot/dracut/) | |
138 | -o, --overlaydir Overlay directory, which contains files that | |
139 | will be used to create an additional image | |
140 | --nooverlay Do not use the overlay directory | |
141 | --noimagedir Do not use the additional image directory | |
142 | -h, --help This message | |
143 | --debug Output debug information of the build process | |
144 | -v, --verbose Verbose output during the build process | |
145 | ||
146 | - s390 dasd support | |
147 | ||
148 | dracut-0.6 | |
149 | ========== | |
150 | - dracut: add --kernel-only and --no-kernel arguments | |
151 | ||
152 | --kernel-only | |
153 | only install kernel drivers and firmware files | |
154 | ||
155 | --no-kernel | |
156 | do not install kernel drivers and firmware files | |
157 | ||
158 | All kernel module related install commands moved from "install" | |
159 | to "installkernel". | |
160 | ||
161 | For "--kernel-only" all installkernel scripts of the specified | |
162 | modules are used, regardless of any checks, so that all modules | |
163 | which might be needed by any dracut generic image are in. | |
164 | ||
165 | The basic idea is to create two images. One image with the kernel | |
166 | modules and one without. So if the kernel changes, you only have | |
167 | to replace one image. | |
168 | ||
169 | Grub and the kernel can handle multiple images, so grub entry can | |
170 | look like this: | |
171 | ||
172 | title Fedora (2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586) | |
173 | root (hd0,0) | |
174 | kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586 ro rhgb quiet | |
175 | initrd /initrd-20090722.img /initrd-kernel-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586.img /initrd-config.img | |
176 | ||
177 | initrd-20090722.img | |
178 | the image provided by the initrd rpm | |
179 | one old backup version is kept like with the kernel | |
180 | ||
181 | initrd-kernel-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586.img | |
182 | the image provided by the kernel rpm | |
183 | ||
184 | initrd-config.img | |
185 | optional image with local configuration files | |
186 | ||
187 | - dracut: add --kmoddir directory, where to look for kernel modules | |
188 | ||
189 | -k, --kmoddir [DIR] | |
190 | specify the directory, where to look for kernel modules | |
191 | ||
192 | ||
193 | ||
194 | dracut-0.5 | |
195 | ========== | |
196 | - more generic (all plymouth modules, all keyboards, all console fonts) | |
197 | - more kernel command line parameters (see also man dracut(8)) | |
198 | - a helper tool, which generates the kernel command line (dracut-gencmdline) | |
199 | - bridged network boot | |
200 | - a lot of new command line parameter | |
201 | ||
202 | dracut-0.4 | |
203 | ========== | |
204 | - bugfixes | |
205 | - firmware loading support | |
206 | - new internal queue (initqueue) | |
207 | initqueue now loops until /dev/root exists or root is mounted | |
208 | ||
209 | init now has the following points to inject scripts: | |
210 | ||
211 | /cmdline/*.sh | |
212 | scripts for command line parsing | |
213 | ||
214 | /pre-udev/*.sh | |
215 | scripts to run before udev is started | |
216 | ||
217 | /pre-trigger/*.sh | |
218 | scripts to run before the main udev trigger is pulled | |
219 | ||
220 | /initqueue/*.sh | |
221 | runs in parallel to the udev trigger | |
222 | Udev events can add scripts here with /sbin/initqueue. | |
223 | If /sbin/initqueue is called with the "--onetime" option, the script | |
224 | will be removed after it was run. | |
225 | If /initqueue/work is created and udev >= 143 then this loop can | |
226 | process the jobs in parallel to the udevtrigger. | |
227 | If the udev queue is empty and no root device is found or no root | |
228 | filesystem was mounted, the user will be dropped to a shell after | |
229 | a timeout. | |
230 | Scripts can remove themselves from the initqueue by "rm $job". | |
231 | ||
232 | /pre-mount/*.sh | |
233 | scripts to run before the root filesystem is mounted | |
234 | NFS is an exception, because it has no device node to be created | |
235 | and mounts in the udev events | |
236 | ||
237 | /mount/*.sh | |
238 | scripts to mount the root filesystem | |
239 | NFS is an exception, because it has no device node to be created | |
240 | and mounts in the udev events | |
241 | If the udev queue is empty and no root device is found or no root | |
242 | filesystem was mounted, the user will be dropped to a shell after | |
243 | a timeout. | |
244 | ||
245 | /pre-pivot/*.sh | |
246 | scripts to run before the real init is executed and the initramfs | |
247 | disappears | |
248 | All processes started before should be killed here. | |
249 | ||
250 | The behaviour of the dmraid module demonstrates how to use the new | |
251 | mechanism. If it detects a device which is part of a raidmember from a | |
252 | udev rule, it installs a job to scan for dmraid devices, if the udev | |
253 | queue is empty. After a scan, it removes itsself from the queue. | |
254 | ||
