realtek.ko should be added to netboot initramfs
I believe this issue, while related, is different from #11344 (closed).
I try to boot Alpine using PXE.
I am using vmlinuz-lts
, initramfs-lts
, and modloop-lts
from latest-stable/releases/x86_64/netboot/
.
Boot fails with same diagnostics:
realtek.ko not loaded, maybe it needs to be added to initramfs?
Problem is that initramfs-lts
has only r8169.ko
,
realtek.ko
is located in modloop, which is loaded from network using HTTP.
This is pretty usual setup for PXE boot, so I think realtek.ko
should be moved to netboot initramfs.
P.S: PXE setup is proven by years and boots fine on different hardware now.
EDIT: v3.11 and v3.12 are affected. v3.10 is not affected by this.
