Hey folks!
After a messy btrfs replace, upgrading my OS drive to a bigger one (which now works), im left with an error.
When i run dracut -f to rebuild initramfs i get this error:
depmod: WARNING: could not open modules.order at /var/tmp/dracut.pqTDcf/initramfs/lib/modules/6.2.7-200.fc37.x86_64: No such file or directory
depmod: WARNING: could not open modules.builtin at /var/tmp/dracut.pqTDcf/initramfs/lib/modules/6.2.7-200.fc37.x86_64: No such file or directory
depmod: WARNING: could not open modules.builtin.modinfo at /var/tmp/dracut.pqTDcf/initramfs/lib/modules/6.2.7-200.fc37.x86_64: No such file or directory
Running depmod -a shows where the files should be:
depmod: WARNING: could not open modules.order at /lib/modules/6.2.7-200.fc37.x86_64: No such file or directory
depmod: WARNING: could not open modules.builtin at /lib/modules/6.2.7-200.fc37.x86_64: No such file or directory
depmod: WARNING: could not open modules.builtin.modinfo at /lib/modules/6.2.7-200.fc37.x86_64: No such file or directory
On running rpm -qf /lib/modules/6.2.7-200.fc37.x86_64/modules.builtin it show that the file belongs to:
kernel-modules-core-6.2.7-200.fc37.x86_64
When i try to reinstall the package i get the same error:
[user@fedora ~]$ sudo dnf reinstall kernel-modules-core

Complete!
i then tried to restore the missing files from an earlier btrfs snapshot, and tried running dracut again and it works, no problem.
After this i tried to reinstall kernel-modules-core again, i monitor the directory where the files are at and can see that during the installation it removes quite a few files including the files that where previously missing. But it doesnt install the files again. And since they are now missing again, depmod warns during running scriptlet-phase (same as above log). Same three files modules.builtin, modules.builtin.modinfo and modules.order.
Some background:
When i moved my btrfs partition from the old drive to the new one with btrfs replace, i set up new EFI and boot partitions, not restoring these partitions from the old drive. Could this be the problem?
ideas and suggestions are most welcome.
Best regards
