Microkernel Troubleshooting

This page describes some issues relative to booting the microkernel.

Could not boot /dev/mapper/live-rw does not exist

In Fedora 19, building a microkernel using the razor-el-mk may yield an unbootable microkernel. This could be because dracut configures udev to fire on loop0, but loop0 may never get created and as such the udev event may never fire. This can be seen in the dracut patch.

I'm not really sure how to solve this at this point because there's a long dependency chain between installing the dracut package into the microkernel chroot and the initrd creation step. It's not clear where a good point to inject a behavior change might be.
