I don’t know whether this has any effect except for the warning message. Anyway, copying dmidecode to the initramfs gets rid of the warning, so I guess we should just do that.

I agree, as long as this does not grow the initramfs too much.

The dmidecode binary has a size of 114.7 KiB

#7 Updated by segfault 2019-07-14 19:21:26

And the resulting initrd.img has a size of 31879352 bytes, on a feature/buster build without this change it has a size of 31847840 bytes, so the change only grows it by 31.5 KB.
