The idea behind adding support for dracut '--rebuild' option was to ensure the initrd built for fadump takes into consideration all the build parameters passed to original initrd. Pass original initrd instead of current default initrd for rebuild as current initrd might already have build parameters from original initrd along with parameters from previous fadump intird build making the build parameters look like this after a few iterations: -H --persistent-policy 'by-uuid' -f --quiet --hostonly --hostonly- cmdline --hostonly-i18n --hostonly-mode 'strict' -o 'plymouth dash resume ifcfg' --mount '/dev/mapper/rhel_zzfp219--lp3-home /kdumproot //home xfs defaults' -f --kver '4.18.0-60.el8.ppc64le' --quiet --hostonly --hostonly-cmdline --hostonly-i18n --hostonly-mode 'strict' -o 'plymouth dash resume ifcfg' --mount '/dev/mapper/rhel_zzfp219--lp3-home /kdumproot//home xfs defaults' -f --kver '4.18.0-60.el8.ppc64le' --quiet --hostonly --hostonly-cmdline --hostonly-i18n --hostonly-mode 'strict' -o 'plymouth dash resume ifcfg' --mount '/dev/mapper/rhel_zzfp219--lp3-home /kdumproot//home xfs defaults' -f --kver '4.18.0-60.el8.ppc64le' --include '/tmp/fadump.initramfs' '/etc/fadump.initramfs' --include '/tmp/fadump.initramfs' '/etc/fadump.initramfs' --include '/tmp/fadump.initramfs' '/etc/fadump.initramfs' -- Since it is not desirable to build initrd with stale and/or duplicate build parameters, use original initrd (backed up) to rebuild fadump initrd, instead of current default initrd.
