PS: looked at /usr/sbin/mkiniramfs, found it doesn't use the crap in /etc/initramfs-tools, but in /usr/share/initramfs-tools. Grrrr.
There I find this: gene@coyote:/usr/share/initramfs-tools$ grep -R arch * hook-functions: DPKG_ARCH=$(dpkg --print-architecture) hooks/cryptroot: # a) /lib/modules/$VERSION/kernel/arch/$ARCH/crypto/$mod-$specific.ko hooks/cryptroot: for file in $(find "$MODULESDIR/kernel/arch/" -name "$mod-*.ko"); do hooks/cryptroot: archcrypto="$(find "$MODULESDIR/kernel/arch" -type d -name "crypto")" hooks/cryptroot: if [ -n "$archcrypto" ]; then hooks/cryptroot: copy_modules_dir "${archcrypto##*${MODULESDIR}/}"
WTF?
Thanks Randy.
