Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.93.1
Severity: normal

Hi.

I am just experimenting with initramfs-based kernels and I tried to use
mkinitramfs, with the following command taken from the manpage:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
(...)
Adding module /lib/modules/2.6.29-rc6-2/kernel/drivers/net/b44.ko
Adding module /lib/modules/2.6.29-rc6-2/kernel/drivers/net/e100.ko
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/e100/d102e_ucode.bin for module e100
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/e100/d101s_ucode.bin for module e100
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/e100/d101m_ucode.bin for module e100
Adding module /lib/modules/2.6.29-rc6-2/kernel/drivers/net/r8169.ko
Adding module /lib/modules/2.6.29-rc6-2/kernel/drivers/net/slhc.ko
Copying module directory kernel/drivers/scsi
(...)
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Please notice that it tries to find the firmware in a directory that is
"version agnostic", but it is not always present. It should also seek
directories that have the version of the kernel in its name, like:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
rbrito@chagas:~$ tree /lib/firmware/2.6.29-rc6-2/
/lib/firmware/2.6.29-rc6-2/
`-- e100
    |-- d101m_ucode.bin
    |-- d101s_ucode.bin
    `-- d102e_ucode.bin

1 directory, 3 files
rbrito@chagas:~$ 
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

It would, then, find the files without any problems.


Thanks for the package, Rogério Brito.
