[SOLVED] Latest Slackware64 -15.0/isolinux initrd.img when booted with kernel 5.15.145 shows no modules
by allend from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6HQ2H)
I am scratching my head here.
I find it convenient to maintain a small partition dedicated to booting into the Slackware installer.
I have had this working with the initrd.img supplied with the vmlinuz-huge-5.15.19 kernel.
I just tried updating to using the initrd.img supplied with the vmlinuz-huge-5.15.145. It boots without problem, but my USB keyboard was not recognised, forcing me to use the laptop keyboard. If I run 'lsmod', I see no output.
I do not know when the behaviour changed between the kernel versions. Apparently the slackware.uk cumulative archive does not track the isolinux directory changes.
Just wanted to report my experience, as it may affect anybody building an ISO to install Slackware64.
