Bug#520198: mkinitramfs: cannot build initrd with rootfs on mmcblk

[Paul Malishev <afunix@hing.rednet.ru>]

Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.93
Severity: important

I've got armel with rootfs at /dev/mmcblk0p3.
initramfs failes to create initrd image for kernel:

# LANG=C dpkg --configure -a
Setting up initramfs-tools (0.93) ...
update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-versatile
mkinitramfs: missing mmcblk root /dev/mmcblk0p3 /sys entry
mkinitramfs: workaround is MODULES=most
mkinitramfs: Error please report the bug
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-versatile
dpkg: subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

there was MODULE=most in initramfs.conf by default
