Bug#293569: kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686-smp incorectly tries to load megaraid2 on a 2.6 kernel

[robin@redpoint.org.uk]

Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686-smp
Version: 2.6.8-2
Severity: important
Justification: prevents boot 

The package runs mkinitrd to build an initial ramdisk
The hardware is using the Dell 'megaraid' controller which was supported as 
megaraid2 under the 2.4 series kernels.
mkinitrd probes the root and finds megaraid2 and add the line to loadmodules 
in the initrd: 

modprobe -k  vesafb > /dev/null 2>&1
modprobe -k  fbcon 2> /dev/null
modprobe -k  unix 2> /dev/null
modprobe -k  megaraid2
modprobe -k  sd_mod 

the version of the megaraid module shipped with the 2.6 kernel is v2, and 
should support the controller just fine 

running mkinitrd: 

uk2a:/home/robin# mkinitrd -o /tmp/initrd.img 2.6.8-2-686-smp
/usr/sbin/mkinitrd: add_modules_dep_2_5: modprobe failed
FATAL: Module megaraid2 not found.
WARNING: This failure MAY indicate that your kernel will not boot!
but it can also be triggered by needed modules being compiled into
the kernel.
