01:01 <chadmed> update: dracut is still broken

01:07 <chadmed> would it be at all possible to fix whatever soft dependencies exist so that initramfs tooling picks them up properly without gross hacks

01:49 <rkjnsn> Is it just missing kernel modules? Dropping a file in /etc/dracut.conf.d with the appropriate `add-drivers` line doesn't seem _too_ gross.

01:58 <chadmed> thing is im doing that and dracut doesnt work _at all_

01:58 <chadmed> for all the modules we require

01:59 <chadmed> the alternative at the moment is using genkernel with the --all-ramdisk-modules flag, but doing that makes the initramfs load a bunch of stuff that isnt ready to be initialised at that stage of the boot which makes stuff not work properly once boot is finished

01:59 <chadmed> (e.g. brcmfmac tries to probe before pcie-apple is done what it needs to do)

08:35 <jannau> chadmed: what's the issue with dracut? you don't want to have to specify 'add_drivers+=" ... "'? not sure if that even possible since we don't want to have all modules in the initramfs

08:36 <jannau> I don't want brcmfmac in it but it's conceivable that someone wants network in the initramfs

08:36 <jannau> probing brcmfmac before pcie-apple should not be a problem, probing brcmfmac without firmware is however

08:38 <jannau> I don't want non-redistributable firmware in the initramfs. I want to have an redistributable asahi gentoo live image eventually

08:41 <jannau> dracut initramfs works now with my luks crypt root as well

08:50 <chadmed> jannau: nah it just straight up does not load, hangs at "starting version 251" even with all the add_drivers stuff

08:50 <chadmed> this is with default asahi config minus module compression

08:58 <jannau> so it reaches init/systemd but stops there? works here even with module compression (ignoring the default kmod zstd issue)

08:58 <chadmed> incredible, it only works with root=/dev/X not root=UUID=X

08:59 <chadmed> yeah i just changed the root= command line and it worked....

08:59 <jannau> is this for the live image or for the system?

08:59 <chadmed> filesystem

09:07 <jannau> rd.luks.uuid=luks-... works for me. anything useful in `dmesg | grep systemd-fstab-generator`

09:18 <chadmed> no bc i dont use systemd, the uuid is correct and all, it boots with a genkernel initramfs and with everything built in

09:40 <jannau> oh, I assumed you were using systemd. I think root=UUID=... was working for me before I switched to the crypt root

09:41 <jannau> you could switch to "root=PARTUUID=...", it's partition number independent and needs no initramfs support

09:43 <mps> hm, I had issue with PARTUUID with latest 5.19-5 tag release, but didn't checked later if it works now
