Bug Description

Seems LP: #1190039 is back: Booting off a USB flash drive connected to a USB 3.0 fails with Finnix 111. On the same hardware, it worked previously (since Finnix 109).

Reason this time: xhci-pci.ko is missing from the initrd. Recent kernels seem to have split xhci-hcd.ko into two parts and only xhci-hcd.ko is in Finnix 111's initrd.

Copying xhci-pci.ko and modules.* from the Finnix root filesystem to the initrd fixed this for me.

Sorry for the delay; I didn't realize bugs were being submitted here. Nonetheless, thank you for your report! For more details on recent developments, please see https://blog.finnix.org/2020/05/19/behind-the-scenes-of-finnix-120/ .

Finnix 120 now uses live-boot, which does properly build an initramfs with xhci-pci. Fixed, accidentally!
