Partly because statements like "But they don't, and I can't quite understand why" makes you sound like you have a phenomenal persecution complex, which triggers the crazy-person filter. Particularly when you're addressing a problem that is not universally agreed to be a problem at all. (Please don't take this as an invitation to try to convince me.) But, now for a real technical objection: atropine:~% uname -a Linux atropine 2.6.27-0.314.rc5.git9.fc10.i686 #1 SMP Sun Sep 7 20:57:41 EDT 2008 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux atropine:~% modinfo -F firmware aic7xxx | wc -l 0 Apparently there is still not yet a reliable way to determine firmware requirements for modules that you may need to load to mount the root filesystem. It would be really nice to have that, so we can build an initramfs that will, you know, boot. - ajax
