59 | dracut-001 |
60 | ========== | |
61 | - better --hostonly checks | |
62 | - better lvm/mdraid/dmraid handling | |
63 | - fcoe booting support | |
64 | Supported cmdline formats: | |
65 | fcoe=<networkdevice>:<dcb|nodcb> | |
66 | fcoe=<macaddress>:<dcb|nodcb> | |
67 | ||
68 | Note currently only nodcb is supported, the dcb option is reserved for | |
69 | future use. | |
70 | ||
71 | Note letters in the macaddress must be lowercase! | |
72 | ||
73 | Examples: | |
74 | fcoe=eth0:nodcb | |
75 | fcoe=4A:3F:4C:04:F8:D7:nodcb | |
76 | ||
77 | - Syslog support for dracut | |
78 | This module provides syslog functionality in the initrd. | |
79 | This is especially interesting when complex configuration being | |
80 | used to provide access to the device the rootfs resides on. | |
81 | ||

86 | - new kernel command line parameter "rdinfo" show dracut output, even when | |
87 | "quiet" is specified | |
88 | - rd_LUKS_UUID is now handled correctly | |
89 | - dracut-gencmdline: rd_LUKS_UUID and rd_MD_UUID is now correctly generated | |
90 | - now generates initrd-generic with around 15MB | |
91 | - smaller bugfixes | |
92 | ||

97 | - iscsi_firmware fixes | |
98 | - smaller images | |
99 | - bugfixes | |
100 | ||
101 | dracut-0.7 | |
102 | ========== | |
103 | - dracut: strip binaries in initramfs | |
104 | ||
105 | --strip | |
106 | strip binaries in the initramfs (default) | |
107 | ||
108 | --nostrip | |
109 | do not strip binaries in the initramfs | |
110 | - dracut-catimages | |
111 | ||
112 | Usage: ./dracut-catimages [OPTION]... <initramfs> <base image> | |
113 | [<image>...] | |
114 | Creates initial ramdisk image by concatenating several images from the | |
115 | command | |
116 | line and /boot/dracut/ | |
117 | ||
118 | -f, --force Overwrite existing initramfs file. | |
119 | -i, --imagedir Directory with additional images to add | |
120 | (default: /boot/dracut/) | |
121 | -o, --overlaydir Overlay directory, which contains files that | |
122 | will be used to create an additional image | |
123 | --nooverlay Do not use the overlay directory | |
124 | --noimagedir Do not use the additional image directory | |
125 | -h, --help This message | |
126 | --debug Output debug information of the build process | |
127 | -v, --verbose Verbose output during the build process | |
128 | ||
129 | - s390 dasd support | |
130 | ||
131 | dracut-0.6 | |
132 | ========== | |
133 | - dracut: add --kernel-only and --no-kernel arguments | |
134 | ||
135 | --kernel-only | |
136 | only install kernel drivers and firmware files | |
137 | ||
138 | --no-kernel | |
139 | do not install kernel drivers and firmware files | |
140 | ||
141 | All kernel module related install commands moved from "install" | |
142 | to "installkernel". | |
143 | ||
144 | For "--kernel-only" all installkernel scripts of the specified | |
145 | modules are used, regardless of any checks, so that all modules | |
146 | which might be needed by any dracut generic image are in. | |
147 | ||
148 | The basic idea is to create two images. One image with the kernel | |
149 | modules and one without. So if the kernel changes, you only have | |
150 | to replace one image. | |
151 | ||
152 | Grub and the kernel can handle multiple images, so grub entry can | |
153 | look like this: | |
154 | ||
155 | title Fedora (2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586) | |
156 | root (hd0,0) | |
157 | kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586 ro rhgb quiet | |
158 | initrd /initrd-20090722.img /initrd-kernel-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586.img /initrd-config.img | |
159 | ||
160 | initrd-20090722.img | |
161 | the image provided by the initrd rpm | |
162 | one old backup version is kept like with the kernel | |
163 | ||
164 | initrd-kernel-2.6.29.5-191.fc11.i586.img | |
165 | the image provided by the kernel rpm | |
166 | ||
167 | initrd-config.img | |
168 | optional image with local configuration files | |
169 | ||
170 | - dracut: add --kmoddir directory, where to look for kernel modules | |
171 | ||
172 | -k, --kmoddir [DIR] | |
173 | specify the directory, where to look for kernel modules | |
174 | ||
175 | ||
176 | ||
177 | dracut-0.5 | |
178 | ========== | |
179 | - more generic (all plymouth modules, all keyboards, all console fonts) | |
180 | - more kernel command line parameters (see also man dracut(8)) | |
181 | - a helper tool, which generates the kernel command line (dracut-gencmdline) | |
182 | - bridged network boot | |
183 | - a lot of new command line parameter | |
184 | ||
185 | dracut-0.4 | |
186 | ========== | |
187 | - bugfixes | |
188 | - firmware loading support | |
189 | - new internal queue (initqueue) | |
190 | initqueue now loops until /dev/root exists or root is mounted | |
191 | ||
192 | init now has the following points to inject scripts: | |
193 | ||
194 | /cmdline/*.sh | |
195 | scripts for command line parsing | |
196 | ||
197 | /pre-udev/*.sh | |
198 | scripts to run before udev is started | |
199 | ||
200 | /pre-trigger/*.sh | |
201 | scripts to run before the main udev trigger is pulled | |
202 | ||
203 | /initqueue/*.sh | |
204 | runs in parallel to the udev trigger | |
205 | Udev events can add scripts here with /sbin/initqueue. | |
206 | If /sbin/initqueue is called with the "--onetime" option, the script | |
207 | will be removed after it was run. | |
208 | If /initqueue/work is created and udev >= 143 then this loop can | |
209 | process the jobs in parallel to the udevtrigger. | |
210 | If the udev queue is empty and no root device is found or no root | |
211 | filesystem was mounted, the user will be dropped to a shell after | |
212 | a timeout. | |
213 | Scripts can remove themselves from the initqueue by "rm $job". | |
214 | ||
215 | /pre-mount/*.sh | |
216 | scripts to run before the root filesystem is mounted | |
217 | NFS is an exception, because it has no device node to be created | |
218 | and mounts in the udev events | |
219 | ||
220 | /mount/*.sh | |
221 | scripts to mount the root filesystem | |
222 | NFS is an exception, because it has no device node to be created | |
223 | and mounts in the udev events | |
224 | If the udev queue is empty and no root device is found or no root | |
225 | filesystem was mounted, the user will be dropped to a shell after | |
226 | a timeout. | |
227 | ||
228 | /pre-pivot/*.sh | |
229 | scripts to run before the real init is executed and the initramfs | |
230 | disappears | |
231 | All processes started before should be killed here. | |
232 | ||
233 | The behaviour of the dmraid module demonstrates how to use the new | |
234 | mechanism. If it detects a device which is part of a raidmember from a | |
235 | udev rule, it installs a job to scan for dmraid devices, if the udev | |
236 | queue is empty. After a scan, it removes itsself from the queue. | |
237 | ||
