From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.3) Gecko/20030312 Description of problem: I do not use any Kernel modules on one of my machines and wanted to remove the modutils package. Obviously it wasn't that simple. I have created a patch so that rc.sysinit, at least, runs smoothly without the modutils being installed... wondered if you were interested in this with the possibility of merging it into the main source tree. I have been careful to code making as few changes as possible and not changing any existing behaviour. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-7.42 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Build a kernel with no modules and no module facilities 2. Reboot 3. Watch the boot messages... Additional info: Email me if you want the patch
Feel free to attach the patch to bugzilla.
Created attachment 96119 [details] patches initscripts-7.42 to remove dependency on modular kernel Sorry for the delay, I wanted to test thoroughly and refine the patch a little. Cheers /dan
This should be generally better in FC3 - I'm not seeing cases in a quick glance where errors would be triggered. Please try there.
