This was originally used to keep the initrd small. We were so sensitive
to size issues that even the timestamps on the files made a difference
(discovered by Sean Dague).
We can remove this code now, and I believe that we need to proceed
without the continued expectation of supporting installs with kernel and
initrd on a single floppy (as previously discussed here).

Thus spake Andrea Righi ([EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Hi all,
I've used the UYOK feature with a SLES9 distro on Dell 1850.
Unfortunately the following command cause a modprobe of all modules
present in the initrd staging dir!!!
run_cmd("find $staging_dir -depth -exec touch -t 196912311900 '{}' ';'");
I've to verify closely the problem, but it suppose it is due to the
touch performed on the special block/char files, causing an automatic
modprobe of the required modules to manage the opportune devices...
This is very very bad... in particular because when it loads the
watchdog module the machine reboot after few minutes... :-(
I've resolved performing the touch command only for the regular files.
Attached is the patch. Brian what do you think, can I freely commit it
into the trunk?
Regards,
-Andrea
