Subject: loop-aes-source: initrd complains about missing module loop.ko_orig
Package: loop-aes-source
Version: 2.2d-4
Severity: normal

*** Please type your report below this line ***
Hello,

seems that I'm the only user of loop-aes ;)

Okay, building a kernel with
laptop:/usr/src/linux# make-kpkg --revision 01 --append-to-version \-nb
kernel-image modules-image --added-patches mppe --config oldconfig
--initrd
gives me the files:
laptop:/usr/src# ls *.deb
kernel-image-2.6.10-nb_01_i386.deb
loop-aes-2.6.10-nb_2.2d-4+01_i386.deb
loop-aes-ciphers-2.6.10-nb_2.0i-3+01_i386.deb
thinkpad-modules-2.6.10-nb_5.8-1+01_i386.deb

When I now install the kernel-image (before I have purged the same
version) I get the following message:
[...]
Setting up kernel-image-2.6.10-nb (01) ...
/usr/sbin/mkinitrd: add_modules_dep_2_5: modprobe failed
FATAL: Module loop.ko_orig 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.
[...]

These seems to be the consequence of the last bugfix.
Going to $MODULDIR/block/drivers and issuing
laptop:/lib/modules/2.6.10-nb/kernel/drivers/block# ls -l loop*
-rw-r--r--  1 root root 20597 Mar 29 20:25 loop.ko-orig

so after a clean kernel image install I have no loop.ko.
(Until now I haven't installed the depending loop-aes-modul)
When is this diversion thing issued ?
When I install loop-aes or the korresponding kernel-image ?


I don't know if this bug would be better directed to initrd-tools ...

If you have further questions, no problem :)

Greetings
Thomas Braun

Version: 0.1.84.2+rm

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.
