Package: kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686-smp
Version: 2.6.8-2
Severity: important
Justification: prevents boot 
The package runs mkinitrd to build an initial ramdisk
The hardware is using the Dell 'megaraid' controller which was supported as megaraid2 under the 2.4 series kernels. mkinitrd probes the root and finds megaraid2 and add the line to loadmodules in the initrd: 
modprobe -k  vesafb > /dev/null 2>&1
modprobe -k  fbcon 2> /dev/null
modprobe -k  unix 2> /dev/null
modprobe -k  megaraid2
modprobe -k sd_mod the version of the megaraid module shipped with the 2.6 kernel is v2, and should support the controller just fine running mkinitrd: 
uk2a:/home/robin# mkinitrd -o /tmp/initrd.img 2.6.8-2-686-smp
/usr/sbin/mkinitrd: add_modules_dep_2_5: modprobe failed
FATAL: Module megaraid2 not found.
WARNING: This failure MAY indicate that your kernel will not boot!
but it can also be triggered by needed modules being compiled into
the kernel.

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.
