Right now, I'm doing most of my testing using a qemu/kvm guest and
|
|
generating the initramfs on another box but the support is all present
|
|
to build for the "running" machine. For the former, you can boot the guest
|
|
using qemu's -kernel and -initrd options. Currently supported rootfs
|
|
types are regular partitions, root-on-lvm and root-on-lvm-on-encrypted-pv.
|
|
|
|
dracut exists and will build an image. It is command-line equivalent
|
|
to most mkinitrd implementations and should be pretty straight-forward
|
|
to use.
|
|
|
|
To use, just run dracut with an output file name and, optionally, a
|
|
kernel version (it defaults to using the current). The appropriate
|
|
modules will be copied over and things should be good to go. If you'd
|
|
like to customize the list of modules copied in, edit /etc/dracut.conf
|
|
and set
|
|
modules="foo bar baz"
|
|
|
|
|
|
Requirements:
|
|
* udev
|
|
* plymouth > 0.6.0-2 (for encrypted root; otherwise, it should noop out)
|
|
* nash (for switchroot until we get in util-linux)
