The problem is, if depmod is *ever* run in the installer environment, then it must also be run after every new module installation. And it is run by many different scripts currently: hw-detect/disk-detect.sh hw-detect/ethdetect.sh hw-detect/hw-detect.sh kickseed/setup/hd kickseed/setup/nfs live-installer/support/btrfs live-installer/support/extX live-installer/support/squashfs lvmcfg/lvmcfg.sh mdcfg/mdcfg.sh os-prober/os-probes/init/common/10filesystems partman-auto-raid/auto-raidcfg partman-base/partman partman-crypto/lib/crypto-base.sh partman-lvm/init.d/lvm-devices partman-md/init.d/md-devices s390-dasd/debian/postinst Ben. -- Ben Hutchings If at first you don't succeed, you're doing about average.
