[Mageia-dev] Issues with dracut

[JA Magallon]

Hi...

After those couple previous thread it looks like move to dracut is
ongoing, so I decided to try it.

I found a couple problems:

- dracut inists on loading nouveau driver. With mknitrd, just booting with nokmsboot
  works. Booting with a dracut generated initrd ignores that. I think it is plymouth
  that forces it, even if I added 'blacklist nouveau' in a .conf file in modprobe.d:

dracut -f:

dash
i18n
rpmversion
plymouth

- initrd from dracut fails to detect one of my drives, and booting stops:

systemd[1]: Job dev-sdd1.device/start timed out.
systemd[1]: Job fedora-autorelabel.service/start failed with result 'dependency'.
systemd[1]: Job fedora-autorelabel-mark.service/start failed with result 'dependency'.
systemd[1]: Job mandriva-boot-links.service/start failed with result 'dependency'.

systemd[1]: Job home-shared-media-video.mount/start failed with result 'dependency'.
systemd[1]: Job dev-sdd1.device/start failed with result 'timeout'.

  If I rengerate initrd with mkinitrd, system boots fine. fstab is like:

/dev/sda1  /                        ext4 acl,relatime 1 1
none       /proc                    proc defaults 0 0

Any ideas ?
