Hi,

New dracut. Should help fix graphical issues experienced after switching
to xz compressed kernel modules (KMS modules were not include in the
initramfs and were sometimes not loaded properly when the real fs kicked
in).

The other big change here is to automatically generate a much bigger
initramfs when doing an upgrade from mga1. This will include a lot more
stuff (e.g. lvm, raid etc) that may or may not be needed on a given
setup, but until you boot with dracut you cannot generate an initramfs
that will be able to detect only what is needed for boot.

People testing this type of setup would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Col
