During the Ubuntu Server setup, I was given a choice to install a 'targeted' initrd with only the modules my computer needs. I chose the other option, 'generic'. How can I install a 'targeted' initrd now that I've already installed my system?

Edit /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf and change

MODULES=most

to

MODULES=dep

then run

update-initramfs -u

You probably want to install the linux-image-server package.

I already have this installed. – Delan Azabani Dec 3 '10 at 10:26
I am not aware of any other kernel flavor, never heard of a "targeted" kernel. Both the generic and server kernels contain the core drivers built-in, drivers for additional hardware is available from modules which are only loaded if required. – João Pinto Dec 3 '10 at 10:30
The option to choose between a 'generic' and 'targeted' kernel is given only if 'Export mode' is enabled in the setup. – Delan Azabani Dec 3 '10 at 10:31
