If i don't pass the modeset option to the i915 module, all is fine. Is there something wrong with my syntax or is it a bug?
The man page man mkinitrd.conf says, that my syntax is ok:
Code:
MODULE_LIST
This should be a colon-separated list of modules you wish to be included in the initrd
image.
Example: MODULE_LIST="ext3:mbcache:jbd"
If you have loadtime options that you need to specify when loading kernel modules, those
can be added here as well.
Example: MODULE_LIST="module1:module2 option=1:module3"

Reason: system version added
I think this is a bug in mkinitrd. Open /sbin/mkinitrd as root and, in lines 376 and 400, write double quotes around ${MODULE_LIST}, so it looks "${MODULE_LIST}". That should probably solve the problem. Please report success.
There have been quite a few upgrades since I wrote the email but no reply from PV and no fixed package. I'm just bumping the thread so this gets attention by any member of the Slackware team and the problem is fixed before Slackware 13.0 is released.
@bonaire: I tried to reply to your email inquiring about this, but here's what I received in reply to it:
