mklive command error: dracut module 'autoinstaller' cannot be found or installed

[r0ckyjoe]

Hello team, I am trying to build a custom image by running the following command.

[root@ivan-laptop void-mklive]# ./mklive.sh -a x86_64-musl -k it -b base-minimal -p "neovim htop dhcpcd docker docker-cli docker-compose openssh openssl sqlite" -v "linux5.19" -I ./include-dir -S "sshd dhcpcd" -C " net.ifnames=0"

But I am getting the following error message:

---

[6/10] Generating initramfs image (xz)... findmnt: can't read /proc/mounts: No such file or directory dracut: Executing: /usr/bin/dracut -N --xz --add-drivers ahci --force-add "vmklive autoinstaller" --omit systemd /boot/initrd 5.19.13_1 dracut: dracut module 'mksh' will not be installed, because command '/bin/mksh' could not be found!

Can anybody point me towards what I am doing wrong? Thanks!

I can only repro this with -b base-minimal, so it seems dracut has under-specified dependencies

I've just finished trying adding one of the 68 packages in base-system and it always failed. Maybe it's a combination of more than a package. Defaulting to base-system instead of base-minimal for now. It would be good to make it working also with base-minimal.

You can check which binaries it installs and which package provides those, that should tell you what is missing.

I wasn't clear with my previous statement. I tried to add with the -p flag each of the 68 packages that are in base-system but always a single package. I guess dracut needs some and thus the single addition didn't work. I will make some tries and see if I can find the minimum package-set needed to make dracut work with base-minimal.

[r0ckyjoe]

so, after some attempts I was able to properly build a custom void live image using the base-minimal system package by adding to the -p list the two packages iproute2 iputils.

What's the right way to request to add those two packages to the base-minimal system package in order to have a smooth image creation?

Down below the partial (only the dracut lines) output of the mklive.sh I run. Full output available here

closing this issue as base-minimal is not meant for live images but instead of docker containers and the like. base-voidstrap has to be used for to get an image slimmer than base-system
