That said, it's clearly inefficient +to include it if it is blacklisted so we should try and fix that. Anssi, +could this be your code to detect the h/w that causes it to bypass any +blacklist checks (not sure if there are actually any blacklist checks +when building the initrd... not relaly looked at it much) + +I think the nokmsboot parameter is not working in dracut because the +udev rule that interprets it uses the grep command and that is not +currently included in the ramdisk. I could hack it in easy enough, but +we should maybe see if a more minimal method of detecting it in the +commandline is possible. + + +><i> - initrd from dracut fails to detect one of my drives, and booting stops: +</I> +OK, this is more interesting. + +><i> systemd[1]: Job dev-sdd1.device/start timed out. +</I>><i> systemd[1]: Job fedora-autorelabel.service/start failed with result 'dependency'. +</I>><i> systemd[1]: Job fedora-autorelabel-mark.service/start failed with result 'dependency'. +</I>><i> systemd[1]: Job mandriva-boot-links.service/start failed with result 'dependency'. +</I>><i> systemd[1]: Job local-fs.target/start failed with result 'dependency'. +</I>><i> systemd[1]: Triggering OnFailure= dependencies of local-fs.target. +</I>><i> systemd[1]: Job export-video.mount/start failed with result 'dependency'. +</I>><i> systemd[1]: Job home-shared-media-video.mount/start failed with result 'dependency'. +</I>><i> systemd[1]: Job dev-sdd1.device/start failed with result 'timeout'. +</I> + +When this happens you should get an emergency shell right? In this shell +you should be able to do: "mount /home/shared/media/video" and it should +work, then you should be able to do "systemctl start local-fs.target" +and it should succeed. And you can then do "systemctl start +graphical.target" to continue to a normal boot. + +><i> If I rengerate initrd with mkinitrd, system boots fine. +</I> +Sadly mkinitrd fails with anything relating to LVM when used with +systemd so we really do need to solve the problem with dracut to get +this nailed.
