Error trying to build new initramfs after today's update

Issues & Assistance
1

I found this related isse:

but frankly, I’m not sure what it means. Could somebody explain the situation?
To me, it kinda looks like they either had a typo in dracut dependencies or tpm2-tss was renamed?

Will this cause any issues with Garuda?

As per the linked solution, no:

you probably don’t need to worry about unless you need tpm support in the initramfs.

I think this is linked to Secure Boot (not used) and probably other very special configurations.

My guess would be that you have tpm off in your bios as it should be just like secure boot should be.

It won’t cause any issues, dracut it just letting you know it is trying to add the module but can’t.

If you wish, you add omit_dracutmodules+=" systemd-pcrphase " to a .conf file in /etc/dracut.conf.d to stop getting the error message.

Here is a one-liner that will set it up for you:

echo 'omit_dracutmodules+=" systemd-pcrphase "' | sudo tee /etc/dracut.conf.d/omit-pcrphase.conf

Then regenerate the initramfs.

sudo dracut-rebuild

I had the same error.

Now I know what it means I won’t fret over it any more.
