You were right. I diffed an old initramfs with a new one, and the only
missing modules is xts.
Since you already closed this issue, I don't have to test it anymore

Yes, that's how bug happens, with a lot of ifs :) I set it to critical
because I had no idea if my system was the only affected or not.

And yes, I have an old CPU… But it still fits my needs, and buying a new
one will force me to buy everything else ;)

I'm glad you take it seriously enough to publish a new version in less
than 48h.
