I also think it should be suggested to the kernel maintainers to start using larger default ramdisk sizes when building, since 4096 barely seems large enough anymore for most architectures, and now isn't large enough at all for at least two that I know of (alpha, sparc). OTOH, there may still be benefits to using smaller ramdisks outside of d-i, where clearly users don't need to include quite the range of modules that we do. -- Steve Langasek postmodern programmer
