Bug#284141: initrd-tools: no SCSI should not be a fatal error
Package: initrd-tools
Version: 0.1.74
Severity: normal
mkinitrd contains the lines:
8 | 11)
if [ ! -d /proc/scsi ]; then
echo "$PROG: Cannot determine SCSI module" >&2
exit 1
fi
This makes it impossible to upgrade from a custom kernel with no SCSI
support to a standard Debian kernel. It would be better if mkinitrd
instead left out all SCSI modules when /proc/scsi was missing.
