Please enlighten me (and feel free to add it to a FAQ or so):
How are they supposed to replace mkinitrd? AFAICS they completely rely
on the kernel 2.6 internal hardware detection features in order to
calculate the required set of modules. We cannot just expect everyone to
already have kernel 2.6 installed before installing a new linux-image
package (no matter what Md says).
Or do they use a full-blown modules set if the detection is not possible
(kernel << 2.6)?

Eduard.
