Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.53c
Severity: important
Tags: patch
I just upgraded a Compaq ProLiant DL360 with Debian/etch to use the
2.6.15-1-686-smp kernel, and ran into a problem in the process. The
RAID controller module, cpqarray, was not included in the initrd by
default, and the boot failed as the root file system was missing.
I managed to work around the problem by adding it to
/etc/mkinitramfs/modules, but believe it is better to make sure the
kernel module is installed by default to get it working out of the box
on this hardware.
I tried running update-initramfs with the -v option to get some info
on the kernel modules included by default, but it was rather silent.
Perhaps it should report the list of kernel modules included in the
initrd? This was all the output I got:
# update-initramfs -k 2.6.15-1-686-smp -u -v
Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-1-686-smp
#
Here is a patch to add the cpqarray module to the list of SCSI modules
to load.
