Because for example loop is not included in the ramdisk generated with --ifneeded as default. The "INITRDOPTS" value would force inclusion, that's the whole point. -- Regards // Oden Eriksson Deserve-IT Networks -> http://d-srv.com

It was enough time to test any patch and find if something is wrong. I have been running with this patch for some time without any obvious ill effects; I remember I found something that needed cleanup but now I reverted to vanilla initscripts and do not remember what it was. It is impossible in the long run to both run local customized version and merge normal updates. -andrej

The logic is now only that "/" is used to determine what fs and its approriate modules is needed, right?. I have an md at "/var/qmail/queue" and "/home". If I would remove the md for "/home" no md modules would make it into the ramdisk. Another example is that I _ALLWAYS_ have the loop module in my ramdisk...

Also, as I come to think of it, this will increase boot time since the module(s) never has to be checked and uncompressed. Neat. -- Regards // Oden Eriksson Deserve-IT Networks -> http://d-srv.com

Because of lots of reasons, and because it's easy and possible with this small patch. It would also be very useful if the mkinitrd script itself could make use of the "INITRDOPTS" value... If this was working we didn't have to re-make the ramdisk for our very own special needs. -- Regards // Oden Eriksson Deserve-IT Networks -> http://d-srv.com

(thanks in advance...) why exactly do you need a special module?
