08:02 <Isotop> After 10 hours of bootstrapping I finally tested my ISO but it fails when loading modules with 'module hid not found' even though hid-generic.ko is built and should have been copied to initramfs according to the lst file

08:06 <Isotop> Okay. A few modules seem to be muissing from initramfs.lst. Do I need to run make bootstrap again or is make initramfs && make iso enough to generate the iso?

10:46 <Isotop> I'm getting there step after step. ISO now boots fine and modprobe usb seems to work but now it fails while mounting the Crux installation media. Is there any way to debug this? Like add a parameter to get verbose output from the Crux init script? Also USB doesnt seem to work :/

10:50 <Isotop> Are modules for xhci/ehci/ohci loaded by default or do I have to add them to initramfs.lst?

10:50 <Isotop> The initramfs.lst in git doesnt seem to do that but my kernel config may differ

10:59 <Isotop> And is there a way to generate initramfs.lst by simply finding all .ko files in kernel/#KERNEL_VERSION#/ and adding them to initramfs?

11:01 <ocb> i don't know how initramfs.lst works but i manually make my initramfs and add .ko files built by kernel

11:01 <ocb> so yes - you should be able to add them manually

11:02 <ocb> but the init should probably also load them if you need them early

11:03 <ocb> so it might require some code changes in the init also. note ive never played with initramfs.lst

11:10 <Isotop> ocb: so you just copy these files to initramfs folder and run `make initramfs`. Or are you talking about a running live system?

11:14 <ocb> Isotop: yes, i just copy these files to needed location inside initramfs tree and build.

11:17 <ocb> see where other .ko files are in the initramfs and place them there. the last time i had issues with usb on a remote bare metal machine - booted a live system looked for kernel modules related to usb nad unloaded them one by one until keyboard stopped working. that was the module needed.

11:18 <Isotop> ocb: I'm trying to build an ISO for my MacBook so the process is pretty...nerve wracking :D

11:22 <ocb> sorry but i don't know about initramfs.lst nor macbooks.

11:22 <ocb> Isotop: maybe this can help you, this is how i build my initramfs for all machines - l-25.net/initramfs.html

11:29 <ocb> you should be able to add all .ko files manually and modify the init file to load the ones which you need

11:36 <ocb> related to 'fails while mounting the Crux installation media.' - can you maybe boot into shell right away and do the process manually until it fails. there was something like DROP_SHELL that could be appended on boot, maybe somebody else knows as i can't remember the exact word.

12:40 <Isotop> I created a little bash script that adds all ko files and their folders to initramfs.lst. If this works, I will check which modules are not needed.

12:40 <Isotop> Does initramfs modprobes all modules ny default?

12:41 <ocb> it depends on the init script in the initramfs

12:41 <ocb> you might want to read the code

12:42 <ocb> find occurences where modprobe is mentioned
