I have a script that causes a new initrd to be built for my live images (that have been written to flash drives).  This script works great on Fedora 18 but causes the error (see subject) when run a Fedora 20 system – both having been created by livecd-tools.  My script calls _LiveImageCreatorBase__write_dracut_conf() and I can see that dmsquash-live is requested:

 

# cat /etc/dracut.conf

filesystems+="vfat msdos isofs ext4 xfs btrfs "

drivers+="sr_mod sd_mod ide-cd cdrom =ata sym53c8xx aic7xxx ehci_hcd uhci_hcd ohci_hcd usb_storage usbhid firewire-sbp2 firewire-ohci sbp2 ohci1394 ieee1394 mmc_block sdhci sdhci-pci pata_pcmcia mptsas udf virtio_blk virtio_pci virtio_scsi virtio_net virtio_mmio virtio_balloon virtio-rng ums_realtek  "

add_dracutmodules+=" dmsquash-live pollcdrom "

hostonly="no"

dracut_rescue_image="no"

 

 

Interestingly, the pollcdrom module on that same line is included in the initrd without any problem.  Both modules appear to be available for inclusion:

 

# dracut --list-modules | sort

base

bash

biosdevname

btrfs

busybox

cms

convertfs

crypt

crypt-gpg

crypt-loop

dasd

dasd_mod

systemd

systemd-bootchart

system-upgrade

system-upgrade-fedora

terminfo

Does anyone have an easy answer to this one?  I’ll keep digging deeper but thought someone here might already know what’s going on.
