IIRC we modified initramfs-tools recently to handle the no-modules case. ** Changed in: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to initramfs-tools in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1182829 Title: initramfs-tools should allow building module-less generic initrds Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: For the Ubuntu Touch images where modules are only loaded at a later point in the boot by firing up the android lxc container initramfs- tools should grow a MODULES=none config option which: a) does not require a /lib/modules/$(uname -r) directory b) does not try to copy any modules into the initrd This will allow us to build fully generic initrds for systems that have all bits included in the kernel to find their root filesystems. Additionally it will result in much smaller initrds on such systems.
