Hello Michael,
thanks for your reply.
Hello,
Indeed we don’t need to ship them, we can generate them instead.
But that has of course some downsides, too:
- It is slow
- It is not entirely error-proof (out of disk space, out of memory, system being rebooted too early)
So I guess the first newly introduced line ("dracut --regenerate-all --force") of my patch is obsolete then, as the initrds are already there - we just need the directives for ARM.
To my understanding, if dracut fails due to space/memory issues, the upgrade would have failed either way.
Do you want me to submit a v2 of this patch without the dracut directive? Or should I commit this straight to next, and you cherry-pick it into master?
Thanks, and best regards, Peter Müller
I do not really have much of a preference. The only thing I want to say is that ARM needs to get their shit together and being able to load a regular image instead of asking for extra commands here - or build that into dracut.

Hello *,
to my understanding, we do not need to ship "linux-initrd" if we can easily rebuild those on the systems anyway. I would prefer the latter, since that keeps the update smaller.
This was also raised somewhere in the community a while ago, but I am unable to find the correspondent thread at the moment.
How do we proceed here?
Thanks, and best regards, Peter Müller
