The latter case is trivially reproducible on UEFI, with the failure being that mounting /boot/efi comes *after* switchroot. After switchroot the vfat module in the initramfs is not available, and the rootfs lacks matching /usr/lib/modules, therefore it's also not available. And thus mount fails and thus dracut shell. A possible simple work around is having the installer add "nofail" mount option to /boot/efi which raises the potential problem that it fails to mount for $REASON, and thus silently isn't getting bootloader updates. I guess that's better than always getting a dracut prompt? Also more reliable would be if the rescue boot entry uses systemd.whateverisolate=multiuser.target to make sure (a) consistency no matter the existence of /usr/lib/modules (b) we don't get hung up somehow loading the graphical environment possibly needing things in /usr/lib/modules that aren't available. -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
