Hi,

We're looking to use dracut for OLPC's initrd, it looks excellent!
Thanks for all the hard work.

We're interested in building a lean initrd, without any dependence on
kernel modules.

However, the 99base module includes a depedency on 90kernel-modules. The
assumption that kernel modules are always needed seems untrue. Would a
patch be accepted to remove this dependency, or am I missing some
reasoning here?

I should also mention that if I manually remove this dependency, dracut
fails to build because depmod isn't happy that there is
no /lib/modules/kernelver directory, but it would be easy to fix that
issue.

Daniel
