Summary     : Initramfs generator using udev
Description :
dracut contains tools to create a bootable initramfs for 2.6 Linux kernels.
Unlike existing implementations, dracut does hard-code as little as possible
into the initramfs. dracut contains various modules which are driven by the
event-based udev. Having root on MD, DM, LVM2, LUKS is supported as well as
NFS, iSCSI, NBD, FCoE with the dracut-network package.

Update Information:

- fixed rd.driver.* kernel command line arguments by creating /etc/modprobe.d (873220)
- fixed btrfs subvol mounting for /usr, if root is also on a subvol (890577)

- fixed mediacheck (dracut side, anaconda still needs patching)
