Hi, for some reason I canot get initrd image created by dracut anymore. None of the below lines are prefixed with "Warning:" or "Error:" but it seems most of the lines I saw in the past. # dracut --kver 5.4.143; ls -la /boot/initramfs-5.4.143.img dracut: Executing: /usr/bin/dracut --kver 5.4.143 dracut: dracut module 'dash' will not be installed, because command '/bin/dash' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'mksh' will not be installed, because command '/bin/mksh' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'systemd-ask-password' will not be installed, because command 'systemd-ask-password' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'systemd-coredump' will not be installed, because command 'coredumpctl' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'systemd-initrd' depends on 'systemd', which can't be installed dracut: dracut module 'systemd-modules-load' will not be installed, because command '/lib/systemd/systemd-modules-load' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'systemd-repart' will not be installed, because command 'systemd-repart' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'systemd-sysctl' will not be installed, because command '/lib/systemd/systemd-sysctl' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'systemd-sysusers' will not be installed, because command 'systemd-sysusers' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'dbus-broker' will not be installed, because command 'dbus-broker' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'rngd' depends on 'systemd', which can't be installed dracut: dracut module 'network-wicked' will not be installed, because command 'wicked' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'dmraid' will not be installed, because command 'kpartx' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'iscsi' will not be installed, because command 'iscsi-iname' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'iscsi' will not be installed, because command 'iscsiadm' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'iscsi' will not be installed, because command 'iscsid' could not be found! dracut: dracut module 'systemd-initrd' depends on 'systemd', which can't be installed dracut: dracut module 'dracut-systemd' depends on 'systemd-initrd', which can't be installed dracut: memstrack is not available dracut: If you need to use rd.memdebug>=4, please install memstrack dracut: dracut module 'ostree' cannot be found or installed. ls: cannot access '/boot/initramfs-5.4.143.img': No such file or directory But, one line is not with the same syntax, I guess that is the one to blame: dracut: memstrack is not available So, where is a package in package for https://github.com/ryncsn/memstrack ? Seems my last working version was sys-kernel/dracut-053-r1 so I downgraded from sys-kernel/dracut-055-r2 . Sadly that did not help. # emerge --info Portage 3.0.22 (python 3.9.6-final-0, default/linux/amd64/17.1/no-multilib, gcc-11.2.0, glibc-2.33-r1, 5.4.123 x86_64)

I doubt the memstrack message is significant; just below it is a message from the ostree module, so it isn't getting stuck there. Please run "dracut --debug --kver 5.4.143 > debug.log 2>&1" and attach debug.log.
Created attachment 736543 [details] debug.log 1. I zapped the UUID values. 2. Some variable is empty and then some ln(1) exec breaks: //usr/lib/dracut/dracut-init.sh@1076(): [[ Usage: ln [OPTION]... [-T] TARGET LINK_NAME 3. Some escaping function is broken, see many instances of: /usr/lib/dracut/dracut-functions.sh@25(is_func): [[ function == \f\u\n\c\t\i\o\n ]]
It looks like /etc/dracut.conf.d/ostree.conf contains a reference to an "ostree" module. sys-kernel/dracut does not supply that module. Did you remove dev-util/ostree, and forget to update your dracut config?

Please remove /etc/dracut.conf.d/ostree.conf if you are not using it.
Thank you for your help. But could the messages be improved to make clear why dracut exited?
