[Mageia-dev] dracut generic vs hostlocal (keymaps)

Sat Jan 5 21:12:31 CET 2013

first, there's a textline i see which says that there no "nogroup" group inside 
+the initrd, which is required by rpc.idmapd. perhaps the fact that there is a 
+text line at that point breaks the plymouth startup? maybe that is another 
+problem.
+
+
+anyway, i had made a generic one via chrooted methods, and then i made a local 
+one after the PXE+NFS was working (so that i could get all the correct 
+drivers).
+
+firstly, i had to add nfs manually, for some reason, even though i had already 
+removed network from omit, the nfs wasn't autoadded, even though / is nfs 
+mountpoint in fstab.
+
+but then systemd-remount-fs fails too, for unknown reasons. is it related? i 
+donno.
+
+in any case, the host specific one gives an error about be2-latin1.
+
+looking at the different initrds (first one is generic; second is hostlocal):
+
+[root at localhost linux]# lsinitrd /data/system/nfsroot/chestbuster-
+mageia-3/boot/initrd-3.7.1-desktop-1.mga3.img | grep be2-latin
+-rw-r--r--   1 root     root          435 Jul 21 20:27 
+usr/lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/azerty/be2-latin1.uni.map.gz
+-rw-r--r--   1 root     root          439 Jul 21 20:27 
+usr/lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/azerty/be2-latin1.map.gz
+[root at localhost linux]# lsinitrd /data/system/nfsroot/chestbuster-
+mageia-3/boot/initrd-3.7.1-desktop-1.mga3_new.img | grep be2-latin
+-rw-r--r--   1 root     root          740 Jan  5 16:50 
+usr/lib/kbd/keymaps/i386/azerty/be2-latin1.uni.map
+
+
+is the problem the one without uni? or because it's not gzipped? no idea...
