Hi, as `apt-cache show initrd-tools` shows me Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> as maintainer of this package. But he asked me to send my patch to this email adress. So I hope the information reaches the appropriate people. The current module-init-tools from the testing and unstable line erase the files: + /etc/modprobe.conf + /lib/modules/modprobe.conf As I had some problems with getting my initrd to build properly, I researched a lot for this topic. The changelog and some emails around this problem ( google ) were about problems in the combination of these two debian-package versions. I changed mkinitrd so that it loads all files of /etc/modprobe.d ( with find ) into initrd. I inserted a check for existance of the optional files, so that no nagging warning is written on run of mkinitrd. The base version of initrd-tools is ( output of `apt-show-versions initrd-tools` ) initrd-tools/unstable uptodate 0.1.71 Please do whatever is suitable with this changed script. Bye, Achim
