Bug#551276: initramfs-tools: eeepc framebuffer needs option MODULES=most
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.93.4
Severity: normal
I used kernel mode settings for my eeepc with the kernel module entries
in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
intel_agp
drm
i915 modeset=1
According to the http://wiki.debian.org/KernelModesetting UPDATE I tried
the new kernel option video=i915:modeset=1 and deleted the entries in
/etc/initramfs-tools/modules. But the kernel mode did not start up.
I tried in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf:
MODULES=most
instead of MODULES=dep. Then the kernel mode started. Is MODULES=most really
needed (feature) or is there some problem with the hook-functions which
do not assemble the needed modules at creation time (bug)? When I did
update-initramfs the upper modules were modprobed.
