Mmm...actually I was just looking at the initramfs.conf. I hadn't noticed that the driver-policy was there and overriding it. Anyway, I didn't touch it, so it's the default behaviour. Maybe it should be turned to most, I don't think it makes any sense to have a default file (initramfs.conf) and another file in another directory overriding it in a default installation.
Thank you for pointing that out! I'm going to change it and try. Stefano
