This is one of the things each distribution may do differently, and the list of modules to load may depend on software packages you have installed. For example, if you install the NFS client packages on Debian/Ubuntu, the package will include a drop-in file for the initramfs generator that tells it to include the NFS modules in the initramfs, and a script snippet for initramfs that causes the modules to be loaded if e.g. kernel boot options indicate that the root filesystem is on NFS. | |

Would like to also check, if that is the case, is there a list or modules where the Linux distributions loads by default? Like those that comes install with the machine. Basically those kernel modules that comes pre-installed inside Ubuntu and are loaded into the kernel automatically when booted. | |
