Package: initrd-tools
Version: 0.1.77
Severity: minor


When booting a 2.6.10 kernel with initrd, many error messages like this
are produced:

ERROR: Removing 'amd74xx': Device or resource busy

The problem is that kernel 2.6.10 (and probably also others) is unable
to unload ide modules. This error message is very worrying for new users
and I have thus made a patch (attached) for our local installation,
which disables the unloading of ide modules on kernel 2.6.10. Maybe
other kernels can be included in the list too.

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.
