Bug#315654: mkinitrd tries to use devfs in 2.6 series kernel

[Klaus Fuerstberger <linuxbox@arcor.de>]

Package: initrd-tools
Version: 0.1.81.1
Severity: normal
File: /usr/sbin/mkinitrd

Hi all,

found this bug Subject archived as #299103 when searching for devfs and mkinitrd. 
The Bug that was fixed was for the Raid Devices and not in general for replacing the devfs in mkinitrd.

With 2.6.11 I have no devfs in the Kernel and so mkinitrd from does not produce a working initrd for use with dm-crypt and a crypted Rootfilesystem under /dev/mapper/root.

Bye,
Klaus
