I guess the modules contain more automagic so you don't have to manually enable/disable them. If you want, you can limit the modules to include, though. If functionality is missing you will need to write a dracut module instead of a mkinitcpio hook. https://man.archlinux.org/man/extra/dracut/dracut.conf.5.en -- Andy
