Or you know LEAF usecases when, for ex., root.lrp with all it's dependencies wasn't loaded?

These modules aren't present in initmod at all. Initmod just contains modules that are required for successful booting on any platform (PATA/SATA/USB drivers, file systems drivers). > Please keep in mind that syslinux is not the _only_ boot loader and > possibly not the best neither, used on LEAF boxes. > > cheers > > ET > Yes, I know that. And this is one of reasons why I want to make solid initrd that will contain all basic stuff that is currently placed in root.lrp and it's deps. Because on embedded platforms with small amount of RAM and available MTD device (that is always connected to SoC) it'll be preferrable to use squashfs initrd that is always mounted (+ mount overlayfs on top of it) rather than copy all stuff from it to valuable RAM. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Go from Idea to Many App Stores Faster with Intel(R) XDK Give your users amazing mobile app experiences with Intel(R) XDK.
