DOMU_INITRD_MODULES is definitely not intended to be used standalone, but indeed the way /lib/mkinitrd/scripts/setup-start.sh sets RESOLVED_INITRD_MODULES seems wrong. I wonder how nobody else ran into that issue so far.
It seems to be done better (but still not optimal) in SLE11 - there the construct says
if is_xen_kernel $kernel_version; then RESOLVED_INITRD_MODULES="$modules $domu_modules" else RESOLVED_INITRD_MODULES="$modules" fi
So this bug should be fixed in 11.1 and later?
But in a DomU it could really just use $domu_modules,
Historically, INITRD_MODULES contained also the filesystem driver, which you need in domU as well. So the reasoning to include also INITRD_MODULES is not completely flawed :-). And in an ideal world, mkinitrd should be able to generate the complete module list itself and the variable would only be used for debugging / tweaking. -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
