Bug#341930: initramfs-tools: initrd missing mptspi module for LSI scsi



Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.41
Severity: important

After an installation test in vmware installing 2.6.14 and using 
initramfs-tools, the system failed to boot.

Reason is that the driver mtpspi (./message/fusion/mptspi.ko) is missing 
in the initrd.

Modules mptbase and mptscsih are present, but these are not loaded 
automatically by udev and are anyway not sufficient to get the partitions 
recognized.

After including mptspi in /etc/mkinitramfs/modules and regenerating the 
initrd, the system booted normally.

Note that AFAIK the module mtpspi is new in 2.6.14. There is also a number 
of other (new) mpt* drivers in ./message/fusion, but I have no idea if 
these should be included too.

in 2.6.12: mptbase, mptctl, mptlan, mptscsih
new in 2.6.14: mptfc, mptsas, mptspi

Cheers,
FJP
