default linux modules

[Mathieu OTHACEHE]

Hi Guix,

I'm running GuixSD on top of a linux kernel with a custom conf.

In "linux-modules" procedure of (gnu system linux-initrd), some modules
are searched by default ("ahci", "usb-storage", ..., "isci"). Those
modules are not present in my kernel because they are compiled as
built-in.

I think one should be able to specify exactly the modules he wants
to be embedded in his initd instead of having a linux conf guix-initrd
compliant. However, I'm not sure how to patch it.

Any ideas ?

Thanks,

Mathieu

Here is previous thread about this topic.

I faced the same problem, I solved it by out-of-tree version of base-initrd.

HTH,

Thanks Tomas.

Did you give a try to Ludo proposal of splitting 'base-initd' into
'raw-initrd' and 'base-initrd' ?

Would it be ok for you if I try this ?

Thanks,

Mathieu

Sorry, I didn't know how.

Absolutely, that would be very helpful!
