Sorry if this is already clear to anyone, but for the benefit of the archives:

The reason having "ext2 ext4" in the MODULES array gives a warning is
that we recently dropped the ext2 and ext3 modules in favor of making
them aliases for ext4.

We allow aliases of modules to appear in the MODULES array, so if you
want to see what modules will _actually_ be included in your initramfs
you could resolve all the aliases like:

$ MODULES="ext2 ext3 ext4"
$ modprobe -aR $MODULES
ext4
ext4
ext4

Cheers,

Tom
