While hunting for a solution to my bug #312207, i came accross a problem in
module_exists(). The shell replacement in there causes the find statement
to search for to much files. A invocation like:
module_exists drivers/md/dm-mod
should result in a:
find $MODULEDIR/kernel/drivers/md -name "dm-mod.ko"
but i generates instead
find $MODULEDIR/kernel/drivers -name "dm-mod.ko"
This becomes a problem when mkinitrd tests whether a give modules is a scsi
or ide module. It will conclude that modules like thermal or fan are scsi
modules and needlessly include them into the initrd.
The fix is simple and obvious:
