Hi,

Could you please apply the following patch to /usr/sbin/mkinitrd? You
can copy it to your home directory, and apply it with something like
# patch -p1 </home/hcochran/mkinitrd.diff

The patch is also available at,
    http://kyle.mcmartin.ca/patches/parisc-linux/mkinitrd.sym53c8xx.diff

The root of the problem is that mkinitrd, which builds the initrd
that loads all the drivers required to mount your root filesystem, finds
modules by looking at the name the scsi driver places in /proc/scsi/. Since
sym53cxx_2 was renamed to sym53cxx (and the original deleted), mkinitrd
is unable to find module corresponding to the entry. This sets up a mapping
from the old name (in 2.4) to the new module name (in 2.6).
 
Hope this helps,
