Comparing an old and new initramfs I see a tonne more files across a great many dirs: * usr/lib/firmware * usr/lib/modules/$VER/kernel/arch/x86/crypto * usr/lib/modules/$VER/kernel/drivers/char/tpm * usr/lib/modules/$VER/kernel/drivers/crypto * usr/lib/modules/$VER/kernel/drivers/net * usr/lib/modules/$VER/kernel/fs * usr/lib/modules/$VER/kernel/net With regards, Daniel -- |: https://berrange.com -o- https://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange :| |: https://libvirt.org -o- https://fstop138.berrange.com :| |: https://entangle-photo.org -o- https://www.instagram.com/dberrange :| -- _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected] Do not reply to spam, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure/new_issue
