Do I need to worry if I upgraded to kernel 6.12.7-200.fc41 - dracut bluetooth?

sirius-canopus · January 3, 2025, 8:31am

Hi,

I have just run sudo dnf update and received the following error.
Should I worry about this output before I reboot:

>>> dracut[W]: If you need to use bluetooth, please include it explicitly.

Dracut is the component which builds the intial ramdisk, i.e. the “mini-system which boots the system”. In particular, it builds those modules into the initial ramdisk which are needed to boot the system - for example, to access the storage device on which the system resides.

You would need bluetooth in the initial ramdisk if you need bluetooth devices at some point in the boot process (e.g. entering a luks password for system disk decryption using a bluetooth keyboard).

None of this should affect what’s available in the booted system.

Also, you can always choose to boot with an earlier kernel (from the grub menu) if you should need to.

If you use Bluetooth for a keyboard for example, it makes sense to include in your dracut configuration.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Keychron/comments/mw8gw7/dracut_has_merged_support_for_bluetooth_keyboards/

Trie to enable bluetooth module by adding a file like this:
cat /etc/dracut.conf.d/ble.conf
add_dracutmodules+=" bluetooth "
And then tried to regenerate initramfs with the following command:
dracut --regenerate-all --force

I not tested it.

Thank you, I will try. I have found similar old issue - https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1964879, which seems to be resolved for previous version.

sirius-canopus · January 3, 2025, 10:32am

Ok, it seems everything works fine even after the reboot. The content of /etc/dracut.conf.d is empty but the Bluetooth keyboard and mouse work. In the logs there is nothing, so I think I can close the question, thank you once again! @ilikelinux

would you be so kind and include the part of the discussion at bugzilla that you consider helpful? That would be great. Cheers!

Do I need to worry if I upgraded to kernel 6.12.7-200.fc41 - dracut bluetooth?
