Bug#744836: "Device driver support needs thus be built-in linux image!" --> "Ensure all necessary drivers are built into the linux image!"



Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.115
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs

When building a live-boot image with a custom kernel that lacks CONFIG_MODULE,
I ran into this warning output:

    Setting up linux-image-3.13.7inmate (3.13.7inmate-1) ...
    update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.13.7inmate
    WARNING: missing /lib/modules/3.13.7inmate
    Device driver support needs thus be built-in linux image!
    ERROR: could not open directory /lib/modules/3.13.7inmate: No such file or directory
    FATAL: could not search modules: No such file or directory
    df: Warning: cannot read table of mounted file systems: No such file or directory
    warning: failed to read mtab

    WARNING: could not open /var/tmp/mkinitramfs_9M1xNs/lib/modules/3.13.7inmate/modules.builtin: No such file or directory

The "needs thus" line confused me, so I suggest this replacement:

    Ensure all necessary drivers are built into the linux image!
