top it doing that. b. Change the implementation of modalias attributes to allow longer values. It's not clear to me whether the Xen driver is advertising correctly or not. If it is, then the solution should be b, but that may be too disruptive a change to the kernel. So a reasonable workaround might be: c. Change the input subsystem to limit the length of the capabilities part of the modalias.

think it's appropriate for the initramfs to do this sort of magic. Even if they did, this wouldn't cover systems using a custom kernel that doesn't need an initramfs. I think that a better way to handle this would be for systemd itself to warn on upgrade if /proc/cmdline contains init=/bin/systemd. B
