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.
