Package: kernel-package
Version: 8.124
When i attempt to make-kpkg --initrd --append-to-version=-server
kernel_image it works great. I get the package built no problem, but
when i attempt to isntall it, it gives the following error:
Setting up kernel-image-2.6.8-server (10.00.Custom) ...
/usr/sbin/mkinitrd: add_modules_dep_2_5: modprobe failed
FATAL: Module sym53c8xx not found.
FATAL: Module sd_mod not found.
Failed to create initrd image.
dpkg: error processing kernel-image-2.6.8-server (--install):
subprocess ... ... ...
The thing is that i've compiled scsi disk support and the sym53c8xx
module into the kernel, because otherwise i get errors and warnings all
the time, besides it taking longer to boot up. The thing is that i've
been able to run the new kernel fine, so it seems like it's a useless
warning, though now i get other errors like it attempting to load these
modules again. This happens (i think) because it detects my scsi pci
card and attempts to add the module support so i can actually load up
the kernel. I'm using a scsi drive as root so i like have it built in.
This is a minor error, but a discouraging one none the less. I've also
seen posts (doing a google search) but none seem to be resolved. I hope
you guys can get around to fixing this, since it hasn't happened to be
in gentoo and other distros.
I am using Debian GNU/Linux Sarge (installed by rc2 netinst), kernel
2.6.8-1-386. I also have the bin86 package which is recommended by
kernel-package.

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.
