When you install a third-party driver, you will probably end in a
situation, where the module will be in a different directory and
in $depmod_module_dir you will only have symlink. If we resolve the
symlink before we pass the module path to instmod, the dracut-install
will only include the module with its original path, but not the
symlink. Hence the module can't be automatically loaded.
Dracut-install is clever enough to handle symlinks and will include both
the symlink and the module to the initrd.
It parses depmod configuration and scans modules.dep for kernel modules
present in directories supplied in "overrides", "external", and "search"
depmod configuration options. The resulting list of (absolute) kernel
module paths is then supplied to instmods.
* modules.d/90kernel-modules-extra/module-setup.sh: New file.
* dracut.spec (%files): Add
%{dracutlibdir}/modules.d/90kernel-modules-extra.
