Hello list,

I think it is a problem that the initrd used in arch loads many modules 
that are completely useless, which can't be removed later. It just 
insmod 's all possible modules for all possible hardware. My purpose is 
to raise a discussion on what can be done to alleviate the problem.

The main question I ask the developers is why module autoloading doesn't 
work, so we are forced to insmod everything. Is it because initrd uses a 
static /dev filesystem? If it is so would it be feasible to use a 
dynamic /dev letting udev do all module autoloading needed? What else 
could possibly solve this problem?

Thanks in advance,
Dimitris
