The extra space is precious and there are more worthwhile drivers than atkbd. More framebuffer drivers comes to mind, such as rivafb once it's fixed, as well as swsusp/pmdisk whenever it enters the kernel. > It is a real pain to setup, [...] and more to the point it makes the > system unusable in case of early problem. Early boot problems are a huge pain no matter what. The extra pain of fiddling keyboard support into the ramdisk is comparatively small. > and discover/hotplug/whatever doesn't find those themselves, Is there any chance of getting this fixed? > I am trying to get the atkbd get included in the initrd, Under normal conditions, the initrd is supposed to bring up the root filesystem and nothing else.
