Fresh install of debian 12 and Distromorphed to kicksecure, attempted to install dracut and it failed to boot. Just wanted to report it and see if there was a solution I want to install ram-wipe
Confirmed.
Solution unavailable. No ETA (estimated time of arrival).
Help welcome!
It was a general call for help. Not to mention you specifically.
Meaning, unless some contributor magically appears to look into this,
- manages to reproduce this issue with Debian and reports it there,
- diagnoses the technical root cause,
- or even contributes a bug fix,
then it could be a very long time until this gets fixed.
It’s fixed in all package repositories.
Hey @Patrick I just attempted to install dracut again, experiencing same issue. I installed dracut after you put the fixes in. Rebooted and still unable to boot. Not sure if I am doing anything wrong.
Check that the updated file looks as expected before installing dracut.
(Please follow above link to see the filename and change.)
Hi @Patrick I followed what you said but still no luck, unless I did it incorrectly.
Are you supposed to input
filesystems+=overlay
Currently not required
Or just
Currently not required
I deleted what was in etc/dracut.conf.d/30-grub-live.conf
And posted ## Currently not required
Is this correct and is there a way to fix this without reinstalling the os and starting from scratch?
Option A)
This should’t be required. Just upgrade the system as per usual. Then you have this change anyhow.
Option B)
Manually:
Deleting the file is fine too.
sudo rm /etc/dracut.conf.d/30-grub-live.conf
Then update dracut:
sudo dracut -f
Done.
Can confirm I followed your instructions, it gets stuck and goes to dracut timeout at boot.
Then it could be a different bug. I have no idea what’s wrong.
