Package: initrd-tools
Version: 0.1.71
Severity: normal


Ok, i am trying to build an initrd which is less than 1.5MB compressed
in order to boot on pegasos 1 which have such a constraint.

Using modules=dep will cause a bunch of modules to be included (all ide
drivers possible, all filesystem), and thus cause the size to be too
big.

mkinitrd should either be teached to be more selective in the modules
included, as the mkinitrd.conf man page suggest for MODULES=dep, and/or
a way of saying MODULES=only or something such, which will take only the
hand selected modules in /etc/mkinitrd/modules and include those in the
initrd.

Friendly,

Sven Luther

The initrd-tools package has been removed from Debian testing, unstable and
experimental, so I am now closing the bugs that were still opened
against it.

For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/393092 . That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.

Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
