RHBA-2025:23387 - Bug Fix Advisory

Topic

An update for dracut is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.

Description

The dracut packages contain an event-driven initial RAM file system (initramfs) generator infrastructure based on the udev device manager. The virtual file system, initramfs, is loaded together with the kernel at boot time and initializes the system, so it can read and boot from the root partition.

Bug Fix(es) and Enhancement(s):

• Anaconda installation with kickstart over NFS results in wrong path(double filename) (JIRA:RHEL-108623)
• rd.multipath default for user_friendly_names is enable and in coreos may cause timouts during boot [rhel-8.10.z] (JIRA:RHEL-91319)
