We still provide mkinitrd for those that need that, but will only support it when used with initscripts. Users of systemd must use dracut." So for initrd you can use either the mkinitrd or dracut. It depends on the configuration. So, do you have a systemd ? You are using dracut if you have a systemd. Here's how to set up the console in dracut: http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/dracut/dracut.html#_i18n Check out your /etc/vconsole.conf. -- Rgrds, legion
