dracut: ships no default config and built-in default of hostonly is "yes" #1632

Open

Description

@Icenowy

Package name

dracut

openRuyi package version

112-16.6.or.riscv64

Describe the bug

The dracut package of openRuyi ships no default config files, and according to the man page dracut.conf(5), the default value of hostonly option is "yes", which leads to the initrd generated is only for the current machine.

In the situation of kiwi building the raw/installiso image, the target system initrd will thus lack many storage drivers (e.g. megaraid).

Steps to reproduce

Download a raw/installiso image of openRuyi and install it.

Expected behaviour

When installing with raw/installiso, the resulting system's initrd should contain drivers for all possible storage devices.

Screenshots

No response

Relevant log output

Additional context

It should be decided that whether default hostonly is expected; if so, the kiwi configuration of raw/installiso images would be updated that the initrd built by kiwi is explicitly set to non-host-only.

    Yes, the image there seems to be okay; however it's still a problem worth discussing whether to default to non-hostonly initrd.
