Some modules not found, dropping to dracut shell

[Rémy Dernat]

Hi,

I have some difficulties to setup a working nfsroot environement; The
initrd image does not seem to contain all the necessary modules :

chroot /srv/fai/nfsroot

find /lib/modules/4.9.0-8-amd64/ -name "*bnx2*"
/lib/modules/4.9.0-8-amd64/kernel/drivers/scsi/bnx2i
/lib/modules/4.9.0-8-amd64/kernel/drivers/scsi/bnx2i/bnx2i.ko
/lib/modules/4.9.0-8-amd64/kernel/drivers/scsi/bnx2fc

/lib/modules/4.9.0-8-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnx2x
/lib/modules/4.9.0-8-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnx2x/bnx2x.ko
exit


With lsinitramfs, from the fai server :
# not working initrd

lsinitramfs /srv/tftp/fai/initrd.img-4.9.0-8-amd64 |grep -E "bnx2|rtl_nic"
lib/modules/4.9.0-8-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/broadcom/bnx2.ko

lsinitramfs /var/www/html/fai/initrd.img-4.9.0-8-amd64 |grep -E

I do not understand why the first one does not contain all the necessary
modules.

My NFSROOT is like this :

# package list for creating the NFSROOT

PACKAGES install-norec FULL
nfs-common fai-nfsroot rpcbind
rsync lftp
lshw procinfo
dump reiserfsprogs xfsprogs xfsdump btrfs-progs  dosfstools
hwinfo hdparm smartmontools
subversion rdate
emacs25-nox
numactl
dnsutils
netcat-traditional nmap
pxelinux syslinux-common # in jessie we need both
ca-certificates # for get-config-dir-https and apt-transport-https
usbutils pciutils
ssh
netselect
mdadm
#git # git consumes a lot of disk space on the FAI CD


PACKAGES install-norec
# dracut replaces live-boot and initramfs-tools
dracut live-boot- initramfs-tools-
dracut-config-generic
dracut-network
sysvinit-core systemd-sysv-
wget- curl
less
moreutils
ntpdate
lvm2
psmisc
dialog
console-common kbd
xz-utils


# some network cards needs firmware
PACKAGES install-norec NONFREE
firmware-bnx2 firmware-bnx2x firmware-realtek
firmware-misc-nonfree


# you should not edit the lines below
# architecture dependend list of packages that are installed

PACKAGES install-norec I386
grub-pc
linux-image-686-pae

PACKAGES install-norec AMD64
grub-pc
linux-image-amd64
#linux-image-amd64/stretch-backports # if you want to use a newer kernel

PACKAGES install-norec ARM64
grub-efi-arm64
linux-image-arm64

PACKAGES install-norec ARMHF
grub-efi-arm
linux-image-armmp

PACKAGES install-norec DEBIAN_9
apt-transport-https

PACKAGES install-norec DEBIAN_10
fdisk

PACKAGES install-norec DEBIAN_11
fdisk


You could see that there are both linux-image-* and firmware-bnx2*.

How should I change my [ NFSROOT / FAI config ] to include the missing
firmwares ?

Best regards,
Rémy.
