I think gregkh is already on record as saying that the pci-ids file is going |
| 12 |
to go into /usr and stay there. The errors I got weren't from that, though, |
| 13 |
it was the init scripts trying to find udevadm, and then not finding |
| 14 |
libkmod, which was likely installed into /usr/lib64. |

I guess I don't run a "standard" Linux system anymore. I build a fairly |
| 17 |
monolithic kernel that contains device drivers for all the hardware in the |
| 18 |
machine needed to get it up and running, while miscellaneous modules (like |
| 19 |
CIFS or the Happy MEal quad ethernet card) are modulues. My MIPS systems |
| 20 |
all run pure monolithic, completely lacking module support entirely. |

| 22 |
The trend now seems to be to modularize everything these days, even stuff |
| 23 |
like the core disk drivers, then build those core modules into an initramfs |
| 24 |
that the kernel cherrypicks from at boot. That's the perception, anyways, |
| 25 |
and one which I don't really get. |

Correct me if I'm wrong... |
