[arch-general] [PATCH][initscripts] depmod: do not update module dependencies on boot

Any comments to this patch? If there are no objections, could it be applied? Cheers, Tom On Thu, Feb 24, 2011 at 2:03 AM, Tom Gundersen wrote:

Running depmod on boot should not be necessary as the packages installing modules should be responsible for updating the dependencies themselves (and they do, at least the packages I looked through).

Furthermore, as modules can be loaded very early in boot (by e.g. udev), but depmod can only be called after root is mounted rw, we can not rely on depmod fixing broken module dependencies.
