The general conditions for the bug are: 1. Module is manually loaded using /etc/initramfs-tools/modules 2. Module needs to load firmware i915 doesn't need to load firmware and is enabled for auto-loading. nouveau does require firmware and will not be enabled for auto-loading until we have user-space packages that work with it.
