Description Brian Evans (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2021-07-23 17:58:28 UTC
The latest dracut is passing "" to init as argv[1].

This is breaking inits and apps started as init.

For example, openrc-init as shown in bug 803536 and /bin/bb which is often used for emergency debugging

Reverting to 053-r1 fixed init issues.

Looks like this commit broke it.

This commit also broke some cryptsetup setups. :) We need this patch as well:
