That's what I was thinking - we don't support using any of this stuff (raid, dm crypt/multipath, etc) in initramfs anyway, so we could just write out /etc/modules-load.d/anaconda-storage.conf in lorax. I'm testing a patch to do that now and will send it shortly. This anaconda/dracut patch is already in f17-branch, though. Reverting patches is fun and all (also: whee! fewer files!) but I'm not gonna be upset if we decide to leave this alone and load modules via conf file in F18. -w _______________________________________________ Anaconda-devel-list mailing list Anaconda-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/anaconda-devel-list
