Dracut, if I choose to upgrade to 13.2, which I’m not going to do for a while for a variety of reasons, seems to have the ability to exclude modules. I can't find an easy way to do that with the old mkinitrd.
I'm fairly certain dracut will only build even bigger initrds for you. I haven't been looking at it in any detail, just a gut feeling.
13.1 - desktop initrd ~= 22Mb. 13.2 - server initrd ~= 5.5Mb 10.3 - desktop initrd ~= 4.4Mb 11.4 - server initrd ~= 4.1Mb.
I suspect the enormous desktop initrd is due to graphics drivers.
I don't know.
This is 13.1 and I have 24M Feb 3 09:02 /boot/initrd-3.18.5-1.gf378da4-default 24M Feb 3 09:02 /boot/initrd-3.18.5-1.gf378da4-desktop
So. What's in one and not the other?
AFAIK, one important difference between those two is that the desktop kernel has quite a few modules built in. I think I've got a bugreport open that touched on that (as an aside). -- Per Jessen, Zürich (0.1°C) http://www.hostsuisse.com/ - virtual servers, made in Switzerland. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
