[opensuse] Re: doesn't grub have requirement to generate a new initrd w/mods to match a new kernel?

How is that different? Doesn't the normal grub process as suse has it setup require a rebuilt initfs?

Not that I'm aware of. Bootloader setup in openSUSE is done by update-bootloader and I do not see a single mkinitrd call in there.

How do you get modules from a new kernel onto your ramdisk? If the ram disk is not dependent on kernel modules for specific hardware, then can someone explain why a ramdisk is needed to pre-boot from? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
