What's the reason it doesn't load those modules from the regular filesystem? That's what FreeBSD does, and seems to work well enough?

- ta8645 2y agoBecause there are a lot of different types of filesystems supported. And you'd have to compile them all into the kernel. Which of course you can do, that is supported by the build system today. But Distros typically prefer to keep their kernels small, and not waste the RAM that would be taken up by compiling it all into the kernel.
- mixmastamyk 2y agoIt must already have vfat and the ESP, so why not just copy a basic set of modules to a subfolder there?
