[ Fix ] * As done for questing, whitelist the missing module to be included in the initramfs. * This is a similar fix that what was done by dracut [1]. [ Test Plan ] * Build an initramfs with initramfs-tools updated and check that drivers/usb/host/xhci-pci-renesas.ko.zst has been included [ Where problems could occur ] * Increase slightly size of the initramfs. [ Other info ] * Checked for other missing usb drivers in dracut code, nothing is coming up. 1: https://github.com/dracut-ng/dracut-ng/commit/20cc20d2ac9c2908da6735b04dba49c1cb1b0bab __________ On specific intel hardware (GNR), the Ubuntu ISO 24.04.3 doesn't boot when selecting the hwe kernel. After looking at the initrd generated, the hwe-initrd is missing kernel/drivers/usb/host/xhci-pci-renesas.ko.zst: $ lsinitramfs casper/initrd | grep kernel/drivers/usb/host/ usr/lib/modules/6.8.0-71-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/host/xhci-pci-renesas.ko.zst usr/lib/modules/6.8.0-71-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/host/xhci-pci.ko.zst usr/lib/modules/6.8.0-71-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/host/xhci-plat-hcd.ko.zst $ lsinitramfs casper/hwe-initrd | grep kernel/drivers/usb/host/ usr/lib/modules/6.14.0-27-generic/kernel/drivers/usb/host/xhci-plat-hcd.ko.zst xhci-pci module is also not there as it's in 6.14 a builtin. As depmod is used to find dependencies across modules, I guess it is missing dependencies for builtins. In 6.8.0 we can find in the associated modules.dep: kernel/drivers/usb/host/xhci-pci.ko.zst: kernel/drivers/usb/host/xhci-pci-renesas.ko.zst But it's not the case in 6.14.0.
