that does not put them in the initramfs, use /etc/initramfs-tools/modules for that. > > we currently do in scripts/init-premount/thermal > > case "$DPKG_ARCH" in > > # load the right modules > > powerpc|ppc64) > > modprobe -q i2c-keywest > > modprobe -q therm_pm72 > > ;; > > Indeed.

Can anything be > done about it. ppc builds those modular, which makes debuggig an initramfs a pain. we already had an lengthy discussion about that 1/2 year ago. as you like to keep them modular i need to load them or the user might not be able to do anithing in the rescue shell. how about fixing those drivers?! regards -- maks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
