Addon: initramfs related scripts that use a modprobe call in a function that's being evaluated in another one, but don't redirect stdout to /dev/null can seriously fail due to this behaviour. Cc-ing debian-live, as they might be interested in this issue as well, for now the following patch addresses this issue for live-initramfs: http://git.grml.org/?p=live-initramfs-grml.git;a=blob;f=debian/patches/16_do_not_leak_modprobe_options.dpatch;hb=HEAD regards, -mika-
