Description

Before mkinitrd can reasonably do that, we need a method of querying the modules to see what we should consider candidates to bring in, rather than having a static list of all "network modules". How do you propose to do that? I've got an implementation that will work for doing this based off of mkinitrd's bash-branch. We just need to merge those changes over early in F9 and this can be done. Doing it for F8 is pretty risky at this stage, though, as it's a pretty big change to how mkinitrd works. # If we have ide devices and module ide, do the right thing
ide=/proc/ide/ide*
if [ -n "$forceide" -o -n "$ide" -a "x$PROBE" == "xyes" ]; then
findmodule -ide-disk
fi
This code never did work properly.
1) ide=/proc/ide/ide* makes $ide == "/proc/ide/ide*", it never did probe.
2) As a result of that, -n "$ide" always was true.
3) /proc/ide doesn't even exist now.
4) ide-disk module doesn't exist now either.
Should we just remove this block, --force-ide-probe and PROBE?

mount /sysroot
The equivalent is working with mkinitrd-6.0.19-4.fc8. Trying more on this tomorrow.
git clone http://fedorapeople.org/~wtogami/mkinitrd/ If you want to try my branch... be sure to build the entire package, because nash is incompatible with the standard mkinitrd nash. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=424591 Proposed patches for upstream mkinitrd is over at this other bug. The original purpose of this bug is now fixed in mkinitrd for F9. Closing. The NBD part continues in Bug #424591. |
