I understand you can build your own kernel and include all the necessary drivers and modules into the image. If you don't include everything in the kernel image, making an initramfs with update-initramfs is not going to work, it first issues a warning about the missing /lib/modules for that home-built version of the kernel, and then depmod gives an error that it can't open that directory, which is fatal. So there is no way to use update-initramfs using that kernel.
Now update-grub doesn't care, it will use the initrd it can find with the matching version if present. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1613260 Title: update-grub (grub-mkconfig) includes all kernels in boot, regardless whether version is in /lib/modules To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/grub2/+bug/1613260/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
