Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.101
Severity: minor

I think it's not a good idea to issue warnings like these:

FATAL: Module xhci not found.
FATAL: Module zfcp not found.
FATAL: Module i2o_block not found.
FATAL: Module dasd_diag_mod not found.
FATAL: Module dasd_eckd_mod not found.
FATAL: Module dasd_fba_mod not found.

if this concerns modules the user does not need.

It is a bad idea because users should not get used to "FATAL" warnings which is
the case here.

Please find a healthier solution.

Thanks

These are generated by modinfo, not directly by initramfs-tools. This
is a regression between the old module-init-tools and kmod.
