Herbert said: "Well if mkinitrd didn't check the existence of those
modules then people who don't configure them into the kernel at all
will get an unbootable system.

As checking the kernel config file is pretty much unmaintainable
at the moment, this is the best we can do.

I don't see why he can't just compile them as modules, or don't use
initrd's at all."
