Description Johan Huysmans 2007-06-04 12:51:37 UTC

Description of problem:
The mkinitrd script will only check the modules.conf file for needed modules. If
this file has includes defined they WONT be checked. Also if a modprobe.d
directory exists it WONT be checked


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
mkinitrd-4.2.1.6-1

How reproducible:
use includes in the modprobe.conf or use modprobe.d
  
Actual results:
scsi_hostadapter entries in the included files or modprobe.d files aren't
included in the created initrd.

Expected results:
That the listed modules are included in the new initrd

I want to implement this myself, but i need some info about the functionality
and the expected behavior.
like: check modprobe.d only when modprobe.conf doesn't exists or also when it
exists, ...

this is the same as Fedora bz 457870, which it says was closed as of Fedora 11,
so you can grab the mkinitrd out of a Fedora 11 distribution

but i vote for backporting this from Fedora, pretty please

i'll try adding a BZ for RHEL 5
