Hi folks, today I trigger another stupid update ( I use yay -Syuu) because I’m under testing stuff on wine and yay fail to reinstall some libs for it so.
I see bigger dracut output on this time when try to upgrade my system, ending to much fails, last is about nvidia dkms , it say to need mkinitcpio ? for building initramfs (I’m on systemd-boot)
This is absolutely out of mind for me, many initial errors trigger because some “missing modules” ? I really don’t wanted and not installed by default fresh Cassini, well I post some dracut output:

and so more over long output give me out of terminal buffer of errors, between errors I see stuff like this:

So I not rebooted for now, would be sure is safe to reboot.
And other question is whydamn dracut triggers a lot of errors, and if it possible to “clean” it’s configuration for un needed modules builds requests. If it any easy way before complete messing up all.
Sorry folks, I’m think tis is really annoyng when the operating system go crazy under uptating. I think do not updating anymore without timeshift backup lol, Is very dangerous do update on production machines. I’m very sad

Edit: so is a possible are same package of kernel-install-for-dracut from different repo? oh my gosh lol…
