Bug#272079: initrd-tools: creation of initrd image fails when lvm is compiled statically into kernel



Package: initrd-tools
Version: 0.1.74
Severity: normal

Hi,

for my firewall I build my own custom made kernels with module loading
disabled for security reasons. The root volume is a LVM volume on a
hardware raid. When creating the mkinitrd image, mkinitrd fails because
the script tests if there is an lvm module when the root volume is on
LVM. Perhaps the mkinitrd-script can also test if the module is
statically compiled into the kernel?

Cheers,

Jörg
