Bug Description

Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

In addition to the standard KMS drivers shipped with the kernel, the framebuffer hook of initramfs-tools should also copy the nouveau module to the initramfs for the same KMS experience.

Simply adding
manual_add_modules lbm_nouveau
to the framebuffer hook should work. I'll prepare a branch with this for merging.

It seems that there's not yet agreement that this is the right place for the nouveau framebuffer hook. I'll leave this, pending discussion.

This bug is obsolete since Nouveau is heading to the main kernel package with the 2.6.33 drm backport. Thus, it will get copied by the existing framebuffer hook.
