But not every driver built as a *.ko module. Some of them are configured as built-in (on the assumption that users will not be savvy enough to create an initramfs? or to know when an initramfs is needed?)

Yes
<ppetrov^>
farkuhar, Slackware would require and initramfs and I always hated that additional complication step

SiFuh_: I wonder what kind of system would fail to boot if your modular kernel were built with s/CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=y/CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=m/ and the user didn't create an initramfs.
<SiFuh_>
farkuhar: All
<SiFuh_>
Did I set that to Y ?
<SiFuh_>
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_LOOP=y
<SiFuh_>
Ahh I remember why I set that to yes.
<SiFuh_>
I was working on a Beelink mini-PC Device and I wanted to have the option to boot the CRUX ISO from ESP.
<farkuhar>
I have loop.ko under /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/kernel/driver/block but it rarely gets loaded. I can go for weeks without needing to modprobe it. Unlike SiFuh_ I'm not in the habit of dd'ing every spinning plastic disc to a file on my hard drive.
<SiFuh_>
farkuhar: Also if I remember correctly you need loop to load RAM Disks.
<ppetrov^>
i have modprobe loop in my rc.local
<SiFuh_>
I remember back in the 90's when I some how loopbacked my hard disk from 127.0.0.1 and I was shocked "How the fuck did I double my hard disk space?" Hahaha

Woah, turpentine is here!
<serpente>
hey fellas
<SiFuh_>
Hey, fellow
<serpente>
this whitequark irclog thing covers all channels and servers? i'm trying to see a log from oftc but shows nothing
<SiFuh_>
No
<SiFuh_>
The channel founder has to request whitequark logging and must modify their topic to inform them that it is being logged with the whitequark logger
<serpente>
i see, and this _whitelogger is the bot who does it... i guess
<SiFuh_>
Yes
<SiFuh_>
It likes to be here and enjoy our highly irregular and abusive conversations and noises. ;-)
<serpente>
sure, the channel it likes most
<serpente>
heh
<SiFuh_>
Yeah the guy who sits behind the _whitequark bot and reads everything being posted to this channel is clacking away on his typewriter laughing at our conversations, then curses out loud when farkuhar starts posting because he has to type so much and it doesn't make him laugh.
<serpente>
and then?
<serpente>
what about zorz
<SiFuh_>
And then?
<SiFuh_>
HAHAHAHAHA Shotgun Willy! Mosquito flying around the toilet bowl and I hit it straight away in mid flight.
<serpente>
and then?
<SiFuh_>
And then it got hit in the face with a urine shower
<SiFuh_>
Suppose I'd better go pack my bags
