Subject: base module dependency on kernel-modules
Date: Fri, 12 Jun 2009 10:19:27 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1244798367.2217.14.camel@polyethylene> (raw)
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
