Package: discover
Version: 1.1-6
The initrd created by discover's update-initrd script is not so useful as
the kernel doesn't actually run /linuxrc because it's not marked executable.
As a side effect, no modules get loaded and the block device for the real
root filesystem may be inaccessible.
Even after fixing the /linuxrc not executable problem, the discover initrd
also fails to load non-scsi modules which might be required to make the root
filesystem mountable, such as the md driver, or modules for the root
filesystem itself. Worse still, there doesn't seem to be any facility for
manually specifying additional modules to be included on and loaded by the
initrd.
