[SOLVED] unable to add g_cdc or g_ether to initramfs

[Aydan]

Hello there,

I tried generating an initrd for usb gadget booting with nfs root, but I was unable to add the required modules:

Code: Select all

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-5.4.51+
/usr/sbin/mkinitramfs: 1: /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/modules: g_cdc: not found

my /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/modules looks like this:

Code: Select all

g_cdc

The modules exist and are working when booting from SD card.

Any ideas what might be wrong?

Could somebody please try adding either g_cdc or g_ether to an initramfs to check if it is something generic or something on my setup?

You need to add additional modules to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules (not /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/modules).

You need to add additional modules to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules (not /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/modules).

You might be onto something there. I'll have a look tonight where I put the module names, but it looks like it's in /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/modules.

Thanks for the heads-up
