123 | dracut-001 |
124 | ========== | |
125 | - better --hostonly checks | |
126 | - better lvm/mdraid/dmraid handling | |
127 | - fcoe booting support | |
128 | Supported cmdline formats: | |
129 | fcoe=<networkdevice>:<dcb|nodcb> | |
130 | fcoe=<macaddress>:<dcb|nodcb> | |
131 | ||
132 | Note currently only nodcb is supported, the dcb option is reserved for | |
133 | future use. | |
134 | ||
135 | Note letters in the macaddress must be lowercase! | |
136 | ||
137 | Examples: | |
138 | fcoe=eth0:nodcb | |
139 | fcoe=4A:3F:4C:04:F8:D7:nodcb | |
140 | ||
141 | - Syslog support for dracut | |
142 | This module provides syslog functionality in the initrd. | |
143 | This is especially interesting when complex configuration being | |
144 | used to provide access to the device the rootfs resides on. | |
145 | ||

147 | dracut-0.9 |

151 | "quiet" is specified | |
152 | - rd_LUKS_UUID is now handled correctly | |
153 | - dracut-gencmdline: rd_LUKS_UUID and rd_MD_UUID is now correctly generated | |
154 | - now generates initrd-generic with around 15MB | |
155 | - smaller bugfixes | |
156 | ||
0de91060 HH |
157 | dracut-0.8 |
158 | ========== | |
159 | - iSCSI with username and password | |
160 | - support for live images (dmsquashed live images) | |
161 | - iscsi_firmware fixes | |
162 | - smaller images | |
163 | - bugfixes | |
164 | ||
165 | dracut-0.7 | |
166 | ========== | |
167 | - dracut: strip binaries in initramfs | |
168 | ||
169 | --strip | |
170 | strip binaries in the initramfs (default) | |
171 | ||
172 | --nostrip | |
173 | do not strip binaries in the initramfs | |
174 | - dracut-catimages | |
175 | ||
176 | Usage: ./dracut-catimages [OPTION]... <initramfs> <base image> | |
177 | [<image>...] | |
178 | Creates initial ramdisk image by concatenating several images from the | |
179 | command | |
180 | line and /boot/dracut/ | |
181 | ||
182 | -f, --force Overwrite existing initramfs file. | |
183 | -i, --imagedir Directory with additional images to add | |
184 | (default: /boot/dracut/) | |
185 | -o, --overlaydir Overlay directory, which contains files that | |
186 | will be used to create an additional image | |
187 | --nooverlay Do not use the overlay directory | |
188 | --noimagedir Do not use the additional image directory | |
189 | -h, --help This message | |
190 | --debug Output debug information of the build process | |

192 | ||
193 | - s390 dasd support | |
194 | ||
195 | dracut-0.6 | |
196 | ========== | |
197 | - dracut: add --kernel-only and --no-kernel arguments | |
198 | ||
199 | --kernel-only | |
200 | only install kernel drivers and firmware files | |
201 | ||
202 | --no-kernel | |
203 | do not install kernel drivers and firmware files | |
204 | ||
205 | All kernel module related install commands moved from "install" | |
206 | to "installkernel". | |
207 | ||
208 | For "--kernel-only" all installkernel scripts of the specified | |
209 | modules are used, regardless of any checks, so that all modules | |
210 | which might be needed by any dracut generic image are in. | |
211 | ||
212 | The basic idea is to create two images. One image with the kernel | |
213 | modules and one without. So if the kernel changes, you only have | |
214 | to replace one image. | |
215 | ||
216 | Grub and the kernel can handle multiple images, so grub entry can | |
217 | look like this: | |
218 | ||
219 | title Fedora (2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586) | |
220 | root (hd0,0) | |
221 | kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586 ro rhgb quiet | |
222 | initrd /initrd-20090722.img /initrd-kernel-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586.img /initrd-config.img | |
223 | ||
224 | initrd-20090722.img | |
225 | the image provided by the initrd rpm | |
226 | one old backup version is kept like with the kernel | |
227 | ||
228 | initrd-kernel-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586.img | |
229 | the image provided by the kernel rpm | |
230 | ||
231 | initrd-config.img | |
232 | optional image with local configuration files | |
233 | ||
234 | - dracut: add --kmoddir directory, where to look for kernel modules | |
235 | ||
236 | -k, --kmoddir [DIR] | |
237 | specify the directory, where to look for kernel modules | |
238 | ||
239 | ||
240 | ||
241 | dracut-0.5 | |
242 | ========== | |
243 | - more generic (all plymouth modules, all keyboards, all console fonts) | |
244 | - more kernel command line parameters (see also man dracut(8)) | |
245 | - a helper tool, which generates the kernel command line (dracut-gencmdline) | |
246 | - bridged network boot | |
247 | - a lot of new command line parameter | |
248 | ||
249 | dracut-0.4 | |
250 | ========== | |
251 | - bugfixes | |
252 | - firmware loading support | |
253 | - new internal queue (initqueue) | |
254 | initqueue now loops until /dev/root exists or root is mounted | |
255 | ||
256 | init now has the following points to inject scripts: | |
257 | ||
258 | /cmdline/*.sh | |
259 | scripts for command line parsing | |
260 | ||
261 | /pre-udev/*.sh | |
262 | scripts to run before udev is started | |
263 | ||
264 | /pre-trigger/*.sh | |
265 | scripts to run before the main udev trigger is pulled | |
266 | ||
267 | /initqueue/*.sh | |
268 | runs in parallel to the udev trigger | |
269 | Udev events can add scripts here with /sbin/initqueue. | |
270 | If /sbin/initqueue is called with the "--onetime" option, the script | |
271 | will be removed after it was run. | |
272 | If /initqueue/work is created and udev >= 143 then this loop can | |
273 | process the jobs in parallel to the udevtrigger. | |
274 | If the udev queue is empty and no root device is found or no root | |
275 | filesystem was mounted, the user will be dropped to a shell after | |
276 | a timeout. | |
277 | Scripts can remove themselves from the initqueue by "rm $job". | |
278 | ||
279 | /pre-mount/*.sh | |
280 | scripts to run before the root filesystem is mounted | |
281 | NFS is an exception, because it has no device node to be created | |
282 | and mounts in the udev events | |
283 | ||
284 | /mount/*.sh | |
285 | scripts to mount the root filesystem | |
286 | NFS is an exception, because it has no device node to be created | |
287 | and mounts in the udev events | |
288 | If the udev queue is empty and no root device is found or no root | |
289 | filesystem was mounted, the user will be dropped to a shell after | |
290 | a timeout. | |
291 | ||
292 | /pre-pivot/*.sh | |
293 | scripts to run before the real init is executed and the initramfs | |
294 | disappears | |
295 | All processes started before should be killed here. | |
296 | ||
297 | The behaviour of the dmraid module demonstrates how to use the new | |
298 | mechanism. If it detects a device which is part of a raidmember from a | |
299 | udev rule, it installs a job to scan for dmraid devices, if the udev | |
300 | queue is empty. After a scan, it removes itsself from the queue. | |
301 | ||
302 | ||
