Now that I've re-read the code, I think initramfs-tools will already
find the right hardware driver in the new kernel, and it only misses the
high-level disk driver, sd_mod.
If you still have a copy of the broken initramfs, please could you send
a list of its contents ('lsinitramfs' will provide that).
