Subject: 90kernel-modules/install should not detect from current system
Date: Wed, 20 May 2009 15:38:23 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A145C2F.4040202@redhat.com> (raw)

bash-4.0# ./dracut -l -f /boot/initrd-2.6.29.3-140.fc11.i586.img 
2.6.29.3-140.fc11.i586
ldd: /proc/8072/exe: No such file or directory
./modules.d/90kernel-modules/install: line 8: /proc/mounts: No such file 
or directory
58848 blocks

#!/bin/bash
# FIXME: hard-coded module list of doom.
instmods ${modules:-=ata =block sd_mod =fs}

# Grab modules for all filesystem types we currently have mounted
while read d mp t rest; do
     instmods "$t"
done </proc/mounts

We shouldn't be relying on the running system to decide what payload 
goes into the initrd.  In this case we see an error message during 
dracut because this is a chroot without /proc mounted.  Shouldn't we be 
including all filesystem drivers if we want the standard dracut output 
to boot anything?

We should rely on system detection only for --hostonly mode.

Thoughts?
