Hi,

with SLES 9, modules loaded with "insmod bla" in the info file, made
it to the INITRD_MODULES line in /etc/sysconfig/kernel automatically.
This was neat for e.g. fixing the order of scsi controllers or which
network card to initialize as eth0 etc.

It was also nice that only those modules for existing cards/controllers
were added to INITRD_MODULES. So you could specify e.g. 5 different
network modules to load but on every host only those came into INITRD_MODULES
that matched a card on that host.

In SLES 10 this feature is gone! None of the insmod-modules is listed
in INITRD_MODULES anymore, just stuff that yast considered useful. As
a consequence, e.g. the order of scsi controllers often differs from the
order used during the installation, the same for network cards (and
that idiotic udev "persistent nework device names" feature isn't able
to recognize which card I used as eth0 during installation).

Was that feature dropped or is it a bug? If it was dropped, how can I
transfer the order of loading modules that I use during installation
into the installed system?

cu,
Frank
