Bug#517072: MODULES=dep fails w/ luks over cciss devices
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.92o
Severity: important
Tags: patch
I needed to run update-initramfs w/ MODULES=dep (for some 15M BIOS size
limitation w/ lilo on an HP server), turns out that I found the same bug
as #507619 (please refer to it for details), except that I have a LUKS
format over the cciss device.
As bug #507619 describes:
"dep_add_modules() expects to find a /sys/block/cciss/c0d0p file, but
it should be trying /sys/block/cciss!c0d0"
It also mentions:
"fyi, I suspect this may also apply to old-style smart array devices,
where device names are similar, but use 'ida' intead of 'cciss' -
e.g. /dev/ida/c0d0p1."
The following patch fixes it for me (on cciss) and should also fix it
for ida devices:
