OK.....
Well to get back to the question at hand.... You said...
# dracut -f /boot/initramfs-3.3.8-1.img 3.3.8-1.fc16.i686
F: Failed to install /usr/lib64/hmaccalc/sha512hmac.hmac
So, why does dracut need to write anything in /usr/lib64?
I am running 32 bit system:
# uname -r
3.3.7-1.fc16.i686
First, I don't believe that dracut is trying to write anything to /usr/lib64. It is
trying, for some reason, to collect files from /usr/lib64 to place in the initramfs
image.
Since you said you are running a 32 bit system, that directory should not exist. I
asked you to do the rpm command in the off chance that somehow a 64 bit rpm had been
installed.
Do you actually have a /usr/lib64 ?
For some reason you seem to have a knack for damaging your system in weird ways as
well as installing packages for which you have no known use.
