[SOLVED] [MGA3A2] Long time for initramfs

[papoteur]

I have installed MGA3 alpha 2 from DVD-Live KDE 64.
the initramfs takes about 25s.
In Mageia 2, it takes 5s only.

you may try to rebuild your initrd

Code: Select all

 dracut -f -H --xz

Partly documented in errata: https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Mageia_2_Errata#Base_system

Thanks a lot.
The solution with dracut worked fine. The initramfs is yet 4 seconds.
The errata cites the problem after an upgrade. but this is not my case. I installed from DVD-Live.
Must I understand that the normal process generates a new initram, but in some cases, this steps fails?

i think installing from live media generates also a more generic initrd like an upgrade.
