      What were you trying to do that didn't work?

      The "drm" module may be required to be able to setup the console font using systemd-vconsole-setup, depending on the hardware.
      Currently the module is pulled only by "plymouth" dracut module:

      # grep -C 1 -w drm /usr/lib/dracut/modules.d/50plymouth/module-setup.sh
      depends() {
          echo drm
      }
      

      But it appears that some customers may want to remove "plymouth" from their system, and still be able to setup a console font.
      Having "systemd" module pull it (unless excluded explicitly) would guarantee systemd-vconsole-setup.service works.

      What is the impact of this issue to you?

      Some fonts require "drm" to be loaded for some graphic cards.

      Please provide the package NVR for which the bug is seen:

      All dracut releases including Upstream.
