Looking at /usr/bin/dracut, i see this: 1621 # strip kernel modules, but do not touch signed modules 1622 find "$initdir" -type f -path '*/lib/modules/*.ko' -print0 \ 1623 | while read -r -d $'\0' f || [ -n "$f" ]; do 1624 SIG=$(tail -c 28 "$f") 1625 [[ $SIG == '~Module signature appended~' ]] || { printf "%s\000" 1626 done | xargs -r -0 strip -g I'm not sure what to make of the warning; it seems ike it might just be extra noise, but it suggests that something isn't working as expected. --dkg -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers testing-debug APT policy: (500, 'testing-debug'), (500, 'testing'), (200, 'unstable-debug'), (200, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental-debug'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages dracut depends on: ii dracut-core 044+241-3 dracut recommends no packages.
