Package: initrd-tools
Version: 0.1.74
Severity: normal

When building an initrd with busybox included /sbin/modprobe is a
symlink to busybox. However busybox modprobe appears to call insmod to actually
insert the modules. Which is fine except that there is no insmod on the
initrd so no modules can be loaded and the boot fails!

I guess the solution is either 
1) to symlink /sin/insmod to /sbin/insmod.modutils which is on the initrd 
or 
2) to include insmod in the build of busybox and then (I think???) that the 
   mkinitrd scripts will symlink /sin/insmod to busybox.

The initrd-tools package has been removed from Debian testing, unstable and
experimental, so I am now closing the bugs that were still opened
against it.

For more information about this package's removal, read
http://bugs.debian.org/393092 . That bug might give the reasons why
this package was removed, and suggestions of possible replacements.

Don't hesitate to reply to this mail if you have any question.

Thank you for your contribution to Debian.
