Good point; this shouldn't be much of a concern. Perhaps the worst that could happen (barring implementation bugs) is that some amount of irrelevant data is copied into initramfs. I'm still inclined to be conservative about this; loading of drivers can be finicky, and even a change which is demonstrably correct can break working systems in the field. -- - mdz -- Doesn't include qla2xxx firmware https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/74004 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
