From 016613c774baf3d30c6425a65ead05d8b55d6279 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Kurtz Date: Fri, 6 May 2016 17:25:37 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] dracut-systemd/dracut-cmdline.sh: Don't error out if there is no root= argument. Thanks to systemd's gpt-auto-generator [0] (which implements the Discoverable Partitions Specification [1]), it is no longer necessary to always specify the root= argument. However, dracut would still refuse to boot if there was no root= argument (or if it was set to the special value "gpt-auto" [2]). This commit stops dracut from aborting the boot process in these cases and simply lets systemd do its magic.
