Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.37
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
mkinitramfs does not copy the /etc/modprobe.d hierarchy to the initial
ramfs. This means that vital module options cannot be passed to the
initramfs system. For my laptop I need the line "options libata atapi_enabled=1"
to be able to use my CD drive.
For other systems (e.g. fibre channel with persistent binding) the
problems will be more severe.
Currently I am using a hook script in /etc/mkinitramfs/hooks to work
around this problem:
<script>
#!/bin/sh
PREREQ=""
prereqs()
{
echo "$PREREQ"
}
case $1 in
prereqs)
prereqs
exit 0
;;
esac
cd /etc/modprobe.d
mkdir -p ${DESTDIR}/etc/modprobe.d
find . -depth | cpio -pdmu ${DESTDIR}/etc/modprobe.d 2>/dev/null
</script>
However I believe this should either be done by default in mkinitramfs,
or a script like mine should be part of the mkinitramfs package. I don't
see how doing this could do any harm.
