Against which package? Hi, It seems like the initramfs hasn't picked up on the fact that that module is needed. This should be fixable by doing: echo ide_generic >> /etc/initramfs-tools/modules update-initramfs You may find that once booted with the module loaded, update-initramfs can work out that that module is needed, and that it doesn't need to be explicitly listed in the /etc/initramfs-tools/modules file, but the problem presumably comes from the fact that ide_generic was not needed in the earlier kernel, or that it was loading a specific chipset's module in the etch kernel, and that module's name has changed rendering it unavailable for the new kernel.
