Hello Adam,

Out of curiosity, what’s the current and target kernel versions?

Like Danny wrote, ‘check-device-initrd-modules’ can have false positives
as it is, in which case you have to use ‘--skip-checks’.

We could arrange to not have false positives, but the UX would be a
little less good because we’d first need to build the target kernel.  So
I wonder how frequent the situation you experienced is.

Thanks for your report!

Ludo’.
