Hi guys, I'm looking through initscripts to make sure systemd is compatible. In doing so I think I ran across the following possible simplification of rc.sysinit. Comments? I'd be especially interested in hearing about usecases where the attached patch would lead to regressions. ----- Running depmod on boot should not be necessary as the packages installing modules should be responsible for updating the dependencies themselves (and they do, at least the packages I looked through). Furthermore, as modules can be loaded very early in boot (by e.g. udev), but depmod can only be called after root is mounted rw, we can not rely on depmod fixing broken module dependencies.
