Bug#434904: linux-image-2.6.22-1-sparc64: sbus drivers not autoloaded, boot fails
Subject: linux-image-2.6.22-1-sparc64: sbus drivers not autoloaded, boot fails
Package: linux-image-2.6.22-1-sparc64
Version: 2.6.22-2
Severity: important
*** Please type your report below this line ***
I upgraded linux-image-2.6.21-1-sparc64 to 2.6.22-1-sparc64 on my SBus-only
Sun Ultra 1. It appears that sbus driver autoloading is not working (may be a
problem with discover, udev or something other like that). However, due to this
problem, the drivers on initramfs are not autoloaded either and so sun_esp is not
loaded and my root disk does not become visible and boot fails.
Rerunning mkinitramfs -k shows that the module files are present on initramfs and
just the loading is broken.
