At least git-core is need in order to update the zfs repo and gpg keys, yes. Or you could retrieve and install those manually if you prefer.

When you sign up for Linux, you also sign up for Linus as benevolent dictator/gatekeeper. For better or worse, his opinion on what gets integrated with the kernel is the only one that matters.
I should have a chat with him. I would propose setting up a script, that temporarily for a few seconds transfers the rights to the kernel to me, and my systems uploads the zfs code to the kernel tree, and then transfers the rights back to torvalds, Then they could sue me.
Hi again.. i need some help.. Long story short, a few days ago i decided to do a dnf up --refresh on my main desktop system, a mini pc with 8845HS / 780M GPU, mainly because i wanted the new Plasma 6.4..
Luckily i did it the āhardā way, ie first close all the trillions of open bash windows, apps, videos etc, reboot, take a snapshot of both / and /home in zfsbootmenu, reboot, and then do the dnf up --refresh
After complete there was the usual orange errors and warnings i didnāt pay so much attention to, as they are normally related to grub issues, and are harmless (might want to ask you about how to safely remove grub from a zfs on root w/ zfsbootmenu system, but thatās for later)
But i think there was an orange error message about dracut failing to update.. but i ignored it hoping for the best..
Well i rebooted, and ended up with a unbootable system, because the amd kernel module crashes at boot, which i then later found several posts about in the forum..
But i was not happy about that, having a desktop system that boots to black screens after an update is a major issue.. So, i didnāt feel like trying to fix it, and rolled back everything in zfsbootmenu, and still have not found anything in the forum suggesting the problem has been fixed.. not happy about that at all..
I gathered from skimming the forum posts that the amd problem had something to do with the failed dracut regenerate command..
Anyways, to the issue at hand, i just tried to upgrade my test VM which is a clone of the actual main desktop system, but doesnāt have any AMD GPU.. but does run your DNF wrapper script. I canāt remember when i updated the scripts from your main repo, the filedates are May 3..
After the main dnf up --refresh, i run zfs-update and then kernel-update, and posted below is the output, which includes the dracut error. As a last thing i try to update initramfs manually, and still get an error, so i wanted to post this if itās related to the major bug with kernel 6.15 and amdgpu etc.. or what you make of it
And also while your scripts are great, i would be happy to not having to use them, because basically before every system upgrade i have to check your github if there are any updates, which complicates things even further.. SO i will probably try living without them, and hope DNF5 now does not install a zfs incompatible with the kernel or vice versa.. sorry for the long postā¦
Anyways, the output from you wrappers after dnf up --refresh on the test VM in the next post, below this, as i exceeded allowed characters:

Never use --regenerate-all with the dracut command. Unfortunately, a recent change to the DKMS package has added that parameter and Dracut will run with it automatically every time a DKMS package is installed or updated. I have filed a bug report about this problem:
Edit: As a workaround for now, try creating a /etc/dkms/framework.conf.d/override.conf file containing the following line:
post_transaction=""
Thanks. But is this what is also causing the major issue with upgrading to 6.15 kernel, resulting in unbootable system for most amd users?.. like thousands and thousands of users?
Also can i ask, do you know of a safe way to remove grub to get rid of those warnings at every update, without the overall system going bonkers.. as grub is always expected by fedora..
When you use --regenerate-all, Dracut attempts to (re)compile the ZFS driver for all the kernels that are currently installed on the system. Doing that is unnecessary and it takes much more time than just compiling the driver for the new kernel. The new ZFS driver with the new Dracut modules might fail to build on the older kernels, even when it works with the current/newest kernel. This appears to be what is happening in your case. Notice that Dracut is attempting to build the ZFS driver for the old Fedora Linux 41 kernel ā 6.14.4-200.fc41.x86_64 ā that is still on your system when it fails:
If you can get it to stop trying to use the --regenerate-all parameter, it might work.
Lines 38-54 (the ones beginning with the comment āremove some incompatible packages ā¦ā) are how I remove Grub from the system in the current version of my fedora-on-zfs script. I think you should be able to copy-and-paste those lines into a Bash shell script and it should work, but youāll need to start you Bash shell script with the following lines.
#!/usr/bin/bash
set -e
shopt -s lastpipe
However, I do not use zfsbootmenu. I do not know if that will complicate things. (I use systemd-boot.)
Thankyou so much.
Any OS you boot from zfsbootmenu is completely unuware of zfsbootmenu, as zfs bootmenu is a small linux OS with kernel and FS by itself, and does full kexec when it boots an actual system.
Itās really something very beautiful i could not live without.
For example the last disastrous upgrade leaving system with blank screens was no issue, simply a matter of choosing rollback in zfsbootmenu.. I would have been very pissed off without it, because in my age i have no interest in spending hours reading forum threads, trying to rescue my main desktop system which needs to be running 24/7..
I will try making a bash script to remove grub.. will test it in VM clone first..
But still waiting to get the big bug resolved so i can get plasma 6.4 on my main system..

ok, i reverted back to the situation before the last update, and did the followingā¦
This test VM is basically on the first fc42 kernel after 41 to 42 upgrade:
1: Remove old kernels. I create a bash script that runs a set of commands i found in some official fedora guide:
cd /usr/local/bin && nano remove-old-kernels
#!/usr/bin/bash
old_kernels=($(dnf repoquery --installonly --latest-limit=-1 -q))
if [ "${#old_kernels[@]}" -eq 0 ]; then
echo "No old kernels found"
exit 0
fi
if ! dnf remove "${old_kernels[@]}"; then
echo "Failed to remove old kernels"
exit 1
fi
echo "Removed old kernels"
exit 0
chmod +x remove-old-kernels
then run it, seems fine:

anyways the update went fine this time..
iāll continue to see how your bug report goes, is it really a new thing to do regenerate-all suddenly?
Seems like a pretty major change if that hasnāt been the practice before.. but i have no clue about these things
Yeah, I first saw it the day I filed the bug report about 2 months ago. Hopefully someone fixes it soon. If not, I might add that override.conf to my installation script.
Also, thanks for letting me know about Grubās new dependency on shim. Iāll have to add 'shim-*' to that XXX list in my script.
Edit: Note that you probably donāt want to remove the shim package if you are using it for secure boot.

Just FYI, after running that script, in addition to those packages being removed, /etc/dnf/dnf.conf should now contain a excludepkgs=... line that will prevent them from being installed (or pulled-in automatically) in the future. If at some future time you decide that you actually want one or more of those packages, youāll have to edit /etc/dnf/dnf.conf to allow it.

ERROR: The zfs module does not appear to be in the updated initramfs.
Without the zfs module, the new kernel+initramfs will not be able to boot
your root-on-zfs system. You have a choice:
1. Run dnf history undo last to undo this kernel update.
2. Try running dkms autoinstall ... && kernel-install add ... This
might suffice to fix situations where kernel-core was updated without using
this script (try to avoid doing that).
3. Exit now. (You can attempt to fix the problem manually with dkms
uninstall/install and/or kernel-install remove/add.)
What is your choice [1/2/3]?:
To be noted, when i returned to they keyboard, it had returned to prompt instead of waiting for [1/2/3]..
I think for now itās best i not remove grub on main system..

hmm also it seems like i had forgot to install git on this test VM, so before doing the failed kernel-update above, zfs-update failed with:
# zfs-update
which: no git in (/root/.local/bin:/root/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin)
warning: failed to update zfs repo and gpg key
However, subsequentally installing git and running zfs-update again found no new updates, so that should not be the reason for the failed kernel-update..
also to note after this error, i have no 6-15-5 in /boot, and doing dkms autoinstall ... && kernel-install add does nothing.
also doing kernel-update again results in No kernel updates found, aborting ...
Weird.. i have the option of reverting this system to a point before removing grub, and before adding post_transaction="" to /etc/dkms/framework.conf.d/override.conf
I need to get this right before upgrading main system.. Lol been waiting for weeks to get KDE Plasma 6.40 installed, but first 6-15-4 resulted in dead system because of some amd firmware bug (together with the fact they now do --regenerate-all, very crazy!)
doing dnf up --refresh now pulls in a new amd-firmware package, and also 6-5-15, but that fails completely..
wow, never had this complicated fedora update..

Hmm is this due to /etc/dkms/framework.conf.d/override.conf containing post_transaction="" ?
I donāt think so. What is failing is Dracut. What you overrode with that post_transaction="" line was a second run of Dracut with the --regenerate-all parameter.
āCanāt write ā¦ā sounds more like a permissions problem of some sort.
Please do let me know what you find. Iāve already added that line to exclude the shim-* packages to the install script in my GitHub repo.
Edit: I just did a full update on my laptop with post_transaction="" and the shim (and grub) packages not installed and everything seems to be working OK.
