I have installed from the 10 may 2005 daily build on a generic P3-866

I have renamed S40hotplug to S29hotplug and rebooted, to find that
everything ran smoothly; the error as above didnt occur any longer.

The better short term solution would be to add the module(s) needed for that drive in your /etc/modules instead of waiting for hotplug to load it.

I think the real problem is that the initrd is supposed to load all modules needed to mount partitions used for your system. However, I may be wrong about that and in that case discover should take care of it. So the bug is either in initrd-tools or discover1-data.

Could you please send us the output of 'lspci' and 'lspci -n' for your system so we may check if your controller is listed in discover's hardware database?

Hi Joris,

Herewith the lspci and lspci -n output you requested. There must have
been a radical change in the installer between D-I rc2 and rc3 because I
had this exact hardware installed and running using some daily rc2
build. Problem is that I cant remember which one. I moved the hardware
to another casing that could hold more disks, so I did a reinstall. Now,
using the build I filed the bug report against, I run into this problem.
If you need more info, pls let me know.
Cheers,

Patrick
