Debian 2.6.8 kernels contain a very old (2.26.02.001) version of the
3w-9xxx 3ware 9000 Series driver.
This version of the driver doesn't create a sub-directory under
/proc/scsi.
Thus mkinitrd would not include the driver into the loadmodules list
causing the kernel to barf if the root filesystem is on a disk managed
by the 3ware controller.
Cheers,
Steffen

sarge released with 2.6.8, current policy doesnot allow kernel upgrades
for the good and the bad.
newer images in unstable contain newer versions of mentioned driver,
there for closing.
