mkinitrd --omit-network-modules support
Last modified: 2009-02-03 15:31:06 EST
Hi, i have added network module support to mkinitrd, because we needed it for booting via nfsroot. I have changed the mkinitrd script and the mkinitrd manpage. People can safely use --omit-network-modules to have an initrd image without networking stuff. Maybe it will be integrated in future versions of mkinitrd. Maybe many people endorse having network stuff in their initrd. :) You can grab it here: http://ircsex.de/patches/mkinitrd-3.5.22-network-modules.patch
Created attachment 124050 [details] network modules patch I'm attaching the patch to the bug so we don't lose it.
Changing version to correct one. (test1 -> fc3test1, and some were filed as test3 accidentally instead; but clearly must be fc3test1 given the date of filing.)
This report targets the FC3 or FC4 products, which have now been EOL'd. Could you please check that it still applies to a current Fedora release, and either update the target product or close it ? Thanks.
Fedora Core 3 and Fedora Core 4 are no longer supported. If you could retest this issue on a current release or on the latest development / test version, we would appreciate that. Otherwise, this bug will be marked as CANTFIX one month from now. Thanks for your help and for your patience.
Moving bug from version "fc3test1" to version "devel". Patch is still not applied to "mkinitrd" in Fedora release 8.
Peter - This isn't in F9, any reason?
We do not have a --omit-network-modules option in F-10, but other then that we have network booting working in F-10, so I'm closing this.
