Bug#983357: Bug#988776: Bug#983357: Netinst crashes xen domU when loading kernel

top it doing that. b. Change the implementation of modalias attributes to allow longer values. It's not clear to me whether the Xen driver is advertising correctly or not. If it is, then the solution should be b, but that may be too disruptive a change to the kernel. So a reasonable workaround might be: c. Change the input subsystem to limit the length of the capabilities part of the modalias.
