Because otherwise there is no /dev/loop# device accessable, so the initrd image can not be created. (Maybe the mdk kernel do include the loop support in the kernel, I'm one of those who like to have as much stuff as possible outside the kernel, I don't usually need the loopback device).

But it's still damn slow, on my AMD-K62 500 Mhz system it took I think about a minute to build the initrd image... It was already slow since 16mdk, but I did not notice it that much before on my AMD Duron Laptop. Another bug (I did install the newest devfsd from 1.3.18, but not yet reboot, maybe this cures the problem): loop.o module is not loaded (modprobe) with the current version.

Hi,
This won't work:
fmPath=`(cd /lib/modules/$kernel; sh_find ./ $modName.o.gz | grep -v build)`
As the magic seems to happen in the "sh_find" function.
# sh_find
sh_find() {
if [ -n "$2" ]; then [ -r $1$2 ] && echo $1$2; else echo "$1"*; fi
for i in "$1"*; do
[ -d $i ] && sh_find $i/ $2
done
}
It has to be something like:
IGNOREDIRS="build"
And a more clever "sh_find" function, I don't know how, I'm too tired right
now... Why is there a "build" softlink in there anyway???
