Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.92l Severity: wishlist Hi,
There is currently support for modular framebuffers in initramfs-tools (modules are loaded when the kernel is passed "video=$mod"), but those framebuffer modules aren't normally included. Please consider the following patch which includes framebuffer modules.
