Subject: TODO: instmods() firmware is broken
Date: Thu, 28 May 2009 15:06:31 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <4A1EE0B7.4030907@redhat.com> (raw)
Note this as a TODO if you want some drivers to be usable during the initrd.
dracut-functions instmods() seems to be broken in that it only looks for
firmware in cases where instmods() was called with a single module as a
parameter. Most drivers are copied by dracut as the result of
=groupname groups, thus firmware is not being copied for storage and
network drivers.
A better fix might be to wait until all installs are done, then run a
modinfo loop across all copied .ko's to install all firmware?
