@stevenbenner 1. I downloaded package file from web site by clicking '[Download From Mirror](https://archlinux.org/packages/testing/x86_64/booster/download)' button and `pacman -U` it. 2. `pacman -Qs booster` says `local/booster 0.8-1 Fast and secure initramfs...

I failed to boot with blank `booster.alias` and ``` moduledependencies: btrfs: - libcrc32c - xor - raid6_pq kernel: 5.11.10-arch1-1 ``` Thus presoftdep should added by default.

`booster.alias` in image I always use is `cpu:type:x86,ven*fam*mod*:feature:*0094* crc32c_intel` I replaced it with blank text file because I did't use crc32c_intel in test without presoftdep modules.

After https://github.com/anatol/booster/commit/c6dc3db813934692bf282888c8e1bf751cc6d14c `xxhash_generic,blake2b_generic,sha256_ssse3` still exists in image after regenerating image when they are not listed by `lsmod`. Is it expected behavior ?

How about trying to rmmod every softdep modules and treat unloaded modules as unneeded? Or is there are sofdep modules requrired at boot and unloadable after boot?

What happen if `module1` is builtin and required to boot but `module1` is not listed in `builtinmodules:` ? fails to boot? or increase time to boot? What does other initramfs...

I wonder flicker-free boot is possible with `fbsplash`.

`*smp_locks` are exists in modules built with `CONFIG_UNUSED_SYMBOLS=n CONFIG_TRIM_UNUSED_KSYMS=y`
