Bug Description

"depmod -m", which generated modules.pcimap, has been removed. This makes pcimodules, a required piece of Finnix's initrd, unusable.

A replacement for pcimodules is needed, and calls to "depmod -m" changed.

Ryan Finnie (fo0bar) wrote :

Neale Pickett has written a functional near-equivalent in C which compares modules.alias to the /sys tree (not just the PCI bus) and writes a list of matching modules. I have integrated it as a Busybox module.

Note: Busybox patch for the initrd will need to be provided to the public.
