sdbootutil produces unbootable initrds

[aafeijoo-suse]

While using http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/appliances/openSUSE-Tumbleweed-Minimal-VM.x86_64-kvm-and-xen-sdboot.qcow2, we found that the initrds generated using sdbootutil are missing some required kernel drivers (at least), and the system fails to boot. E.g.:

localhost:~ # sdbootutil --no-reuse-initrd add-all-kernels 14

The keymaps are not included due to a bug in dracut, fixed with dracutdevs/dracut#2618. After applying this patch, the keymaps are included correctly:

dracut_args=('--sysroot' "${snapshot_dir}" '--tmpdir' '/var/tmp')

With --sysroot, dracut needs to know the root device to automatically get the filesystem drivers, so appending '--add-device' '/dev/vda3' to the list of options would fix the issue. Another option is to explicitly add the missing drivers via --add-drivers.

This should already be fixed, please verify and close :)

Yes, working. No need to ping me to verify :)
