Current TODO list, broken into things which are relevant for the initramfs itself (/init et al) vs the generator. A lot of things are/should be marked with "FIXME" in the code INITRAMFS TODO -------------- * Currently, our switch_root command uses nash's switchroot. Getting a reasonable switchroot implementation into util-linux-ng is a pre-condition for support on other distros. pjones has a basic implementation at http://pjones.fedorapeople.org/mkstart/usr/lib/mkstart/switchroot.c and I've asked kzak about util-linux inclusion * The hard-coded list of udev rules that we care about is kind of lame. See about getting /lib/udev/initrules.d or similar for storing the rules that we care about in the initramfs. These could be symlinks/hardlinks to the main rules in some cases or special-cased ones * LVM activation by udev is a bit of a large hammer right now * dm-crypt (luks) depends on plymouth * plymouth is hard-coded... this may be reasonable as modesetting goes into the upstream kernel as a way to get off of fb-splash stuff, but I can see this being a point of contention for other distros * plymouth --show-splash should be done as a udev rule so that we can switch modes first * root= parsing should be done with udev creating /dev/root symlink for us appropriately * Support thaw (resume from hibernate) * Proving some support with a simple network based root would be good * Do we just call dhclient, etc or try to get NetworkManager going? * Would be nice not to have to kill and restart udev across switchroot * mdraid * dmraid * multipath * Should SELinux policy be done in the initramfs or from the real rootfs? * Keyboard layout/consolefont setup is Fedora/RHEL-specific. GENERATOR TODO -------------- * Default module specificatoin could use some work * udev rule copying, as mentioned above, is a bit too hard-coded
