Does mkinitrd support probing for and adding correct HID drivers to initrd? If not, you may be left without keyboard during early boot.
The way to go is probably to add the keyboard HID drivers unconditionally to initrd, unless they are blacklisted.
=> for the normal installation, nothing changes, and the experts who really do not need them and want to save the wasted memory can blacklist them.
Anything that should be unconditionally added to the initrd should be unconditionally added to the kernel. I don't think the advantage to experts is worth the complication. If a driver loaded automatically has a bug in it - it's severe. If an expert can't afford the driver being loaded, their requirements are strict enough that they should build their own kernels. -Jeff -- Jeff Mahoney SUSE Labs
