dracut for Debian
-----------------
1. Give it a try
Currently dracut is not the default initrd creation tool in Debian.
You can try dracut without removing initramfs-tools from your machine
by following these steps:
# apt-get --no-install-recommends install dracut-core
cd /boot
cp -p vmlinuz-4.0.9-6-amd64 vmlinuz-4.0.9-6-amd64~dracut
dracut /boot/initrd.img-4.0.9-6-amd64~dracut
update-grub
You will get a new grub menu entry under advanced boot options, which you can boot then
Select: Advanced options for Debian GNU/Linux
Then: Debian GNU/Linux, with Linux 4.0.9-6-amd64~dracut
The initrd created by initramfs-tools will remain the default boot entry of grub.
If the new initrd works for you, you can switch from initramfs-tools to dracut
by installing the package dracut. This will then replace initramfs-tools.
2. Check the content of the dracut initrd
lsinitrd /boot/initrd.img-4.0.9-6-amd64~dracut
3. i18n
The module i18n for setting up the keyboard and the font is disabled in
Debian. You cannot use the variables described in modules.d/10i18n/README.
Instead, dracut uses the module 09console-setup which uses setupcon and
is configured in the files /etc/default/keyboard (the keyboard) and
/etc/default/console-setup (the font). If you prefer to configure by
Debconf, you can use dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration and
dpkg-reconfigure console-setup.
