Another line of attack: $ grep MODULES= /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/* Failing any matches with that, I'd like to see whatever is in those initrds with lsinitramfs. After all, I just ran: # mkinitramfs -v -k -o ./initrd-5-10-0-19-amd64-dep-only # nano /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf # mkinitramfs -v -k -o ./initrd-5-10-0-19-amd64-most and got: # ls -Glg ./initrd-5-10-0-19-amd64-* -rw-r--r-- 1 8252655 Nov 14 11:49 ./initrd-5-10-0-19-amd64-dep-only -rw-r--r-- 1 36952534 Nov 14 11:53 ./initrd-5-10-0-19-amd64-most # ls -Glg /boot/initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64 -rw-r--r-- 1 36951179 Nov 4 13:16 /boot/initrd.img-5.10.0-19-amd64 # Cheers, David.
