According to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Dracut/Options#Dracut_kernel_command_line_parameters and https://people.redhat.com/harald/dracut.html#NetworkBoot
we need pakage " dracut-network" for dracut with nfs On my Server it looks like: dpkg -l | grep -e 'dracut\|initram' rc dracut rc dracut-core ii initramfs-tools ii initramfs-tools-core How can i install dracut* without switching the servers initramdisk? In the past we had problems to use dracut to boot, so I dont want to test this at my production server Reiner Schulz -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: linux-fai [mailto:linux-fai-boun...@uni-koeln.de] Im Auftrag von Thomas Lange Gesendet: Donnerstag, 3.

Concerning to the man page dracut.cmdline this should work, but maybe you've found a bug in dracut. You can enable debugging, by adding rd.debug to the kernel cmdline. -- regards Thomas
