Note this as a TODO if you want some drivers to be usable during the initrd.

dracut-functions instmods() seems to be broken in that it only looks for firmware in cases where instmods() was called with a single module as a parameter. Most drivers are copied by dracut as the result of =groupname groups, thus firmware is not being copied for storage and network drivers.

A better fix might be to wait until all installs are done, then run a modinfo loop across all copied .ko's to install all firmware?

Or to call modinfo only when instmods is actually installing a module, and not when it is expanding module shorthand.

Which is what one of the patches I just pushed to the repo does.

So looks like not a bug, but is it really necessary to print all this?

Good question. I originally didn't. Harald?
