AW: nfsroot: dracut don't know to handle root=

[Schulz, Reiner]

According to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Dracut/Options#Dracut_kernel_command_line_parameters
and
https://people.redhat.com/harald/dracut.html#NetworkBoot

we need pakage " dracut-network" for dracut with nfs

On my Server it looks like:

dpkg -l | grep -e 'dracut\|initram'
rc  dracut                          
rc  dracut-core                     
ii  initramfs-tools                 
ii  initramfs-tools-core            

How can i install dracut* without switching the servers initramdisk?

In the past we had problems to use dracut to boot, so I dont want to test this at my production server

Maybe dracut is confused because you did not specified the IP of the
server but an NFS option.
Concerning to the man page dracut.cmdline this should work, but maybe
you've found a bug in dracut.

You can enable debugging, by adding rd.debug to the kernel cmdline.
