But no, it's not just some trivial one-liner. Especially the question about "when to try to load the module that is given on the kernel command line" is not trivial. Do we require that the module is in the initrd and loadable basically immediate at boot? Do we try again after switching the root filesystem? Things like that..
to load it from the root fs you tend to need... an elevator ;-) I think it's pretty fair to users to say that if you want something by default at boot time, you need to build it in... but for us to try a modprobe from the initrd is not too bad I suppose. probably need to do this around the time we initialize the block layer -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-usb" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
