Description:

mkinitcpio creates a non-functional image if MODULES is populated but HOOKS does not contain any hooks with modules.

Additional info:

using mkinitcpio 0.5.15-2

Steps to reproduce:

For example, I've got nfsroot systems that really only need:

MODULES="e1000"
HOOKS="base"

But using that config yields a kernel panic because the e1000 module never gets loaded. But, if I add some other hook
(that I don't need)

MODULES="e1000"
HOOKS="base fw"

Things work fine.

Also, if I hack /lib/initcpio/functions I don't have to have any hooks but "base" for the image to work correctly
