Package: initrd-tools
Version: 0.1.77

I'm trying to switch from a 2.4.24 kernel to a 2.6.10 kernel and
in the process go from lvm1 to lvm2. My root is also on lvm.
When i compile a kernel with lvm2 in it, so no dm-mod to be found,
mkinitrd refuses to build an initrd saying "Kernel does not support LVM".

If i set lvm2 as module, then it makes an initrd.

root@arthur# mkinitrd -o initrd.img-2.6.10.03feb2005-skas3-v7 -r
/dev/main/lv_root 2.6.10.03feb2005-skas3-v7
/usr/sbin/mkinitrd: /dev/mapper/main-lv_root: Kernel does not support LVM

root@arthur# grep "DM" /boot/config-2.6.10.03feb2005-skas3-v7
...
CONFIG_BLK_DEV_DM=y
...

I don't think it's related to bug #291386
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=291386> as lvm1 is
removed from my system

ii  lvm-common     1.5.17        The Logical Volume Manager for Linux
(common
rc  lvm10              1.0.8-8       The Logical Volume Manager for Linux
ii  lvm2                 2.00.32-1   The Linux Logical Volume Manager
ii  module-init-tools 3.2-pre1-2  tools for managing Linux kernel modules
ii  coreutils            5.2.1-2        The GNU core utilities
ii  fileutils                 5.2.1-2     The GNU file management
utilities (transitional package)

Somebody on the debian-user list said the mkinitrd script probably has an
error when checking for lvm2. It would be nice if this could be fixed.

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.
