[opensuse] Follow-up question re nvidia/nouveau in initrd (was "Poor 12.1 Performance")
Guys, In regard to our earlier discussion re the kernel modules nouveau and/or nvidia being inside the initrd: In my 3.0.3-1-desktop initrd on 11.4, there are no video modules under /lib/modules . . . /drivers - the /gpu/drm directory is not there (where nouveau.ko is located) nor is the /video/nvidia directory (where nvidia.ko is located). I also see in dmesg that the nvidia module is loaded far down after root has been mounted and other hw modules & drivers are being loaded, just before mounting the additional file systems. So it would appear then that the boot parameter in ref to nouveau that is passed to the kernel by grub is for later use, again not having anything to do with what is in the initrd. And that the nvidia modules is being loaded somewhere during init while nouveau is in the kernel and automatically loaded unless blacklisted? (There are modprobe.d files in the initrd, but not the one blacklisting nouveau.)
