Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.93.4
Severity: wishlist
This may not be a genuine bug, but maybe an understanding problem that
I have not been able to solve in other media.
I have two systems that are supposed to use KMS. One is working fine,
having an i915 graphics chip. On this system, i915.ko is copied into
the initramfs, and autoloaded if video=i915:modeset=1 is given on the
kernel command line.
The second one has an
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc M56GL [Mobility FireGL V5200]
and is not working properly. I understand that radeon.ko needs to be
in the initrd for early loading to work, and this doesn't happen, and
I am at a loss to explain why this doesn happen.
For what it's worth, I didn't find any configuration that explicitly
causes the i915.ko to be included in the initramfs on the Intel
system, so I couldn't reproduce this configuration for radeon on the
other box.
Who is responsible to include the intel module into the initramfs on
the Intel box, and who should change what to do the same for radeon?
Greetings
Marc
