thanks for your bugreport. unfortunately your suggestion is not an option. in order to support system which do have some/all crypto support compiled into the kernel adding modules to the initramfs will remain quiet. i consider to change the default way to include crypto modules into the initramfs though: in future simply all available crypto modules will be added into the initramfs. that slightly increases size of the initramfs, but in return fixes all issues with current buggy module detection. for example crypto hardware drivers, padlock modules etc aren't included at the moment. currently it intend to keep the current detection system available as a configurable alternative, for minimal systems where initramfs size matters. greetings, jonas
