Bug#383486: DAC960 module not loaded following install

[Tim Small <tim@buttersideup.com>]

Package: installation
Version: Etch Beta 3

Following installation of Etch, using the Beta 3 installer (netinst CD 
image), installation runs to completion without error, on reboot, grub 
appears fine, and the kernel loads, but during boot hangs with something 
like "waiting for root filesystem".  The root partition is on a Mylex 
DAC960PRL RAID controller, and there is no sign of the relevant module 
being loaded during boot.

PCI vendor ID for the device is: 0x1069
PCI device ID for the device is: 0x0010

I presume the problem lies in the initramfs, but I can't easily get into 
the system to dig around further...

grub boot options are:

kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16-2-686  root=/dev/rd!c0d0p2 ro
initrd /boot/initrd.img-2.6.16-2-686
