Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.107

My i386 PC has an i2o hardware RAID controller as the only "hard disk".
The block special files are defined as follows:

brw-rw---T 1 root disk 80, 0 Sep 23 15:24 /dev/i2o/hda
brw-rw---T 1 root disk 80, 1 Sep 23 15:24 /dev/i2o/hda1
brw-rw---T 1 root disk 80, 2 Sep 23 15:24 /dev/i2o/hda2
brw-rw---T 1 root disk 80, 5 Sep 23 15:24 /dev/i2o/hda5
brw-rw---T 1 root disk 80, 6 Sep 23 15:24 /dev/i2o/hda6
brw-rw---T 1 root disk 80, 7 Sep 23 15:24 /dev/i2o/hda7
brw-rw---T 1 root disk 80, 8 Sep 23 15:24 /dev/i2o/hda8

When using MODULES=dep, I get the following error messages from
"update-initramfs -uk $(uname -r)"

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-3-rt-686-pae
mkinitramfs: for root /dev/i2o/hda6 missing i /sys/block/ entry
mkinitramfs: workaround is MODULES=most
mkinitramfs: Error please report the bug
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-3-rt-686-pae with 1.

Here is the listing of the /sys/block directory:

I notice that the entry for the hard disk (i2o!hda) contains a special character:
the exclamation point.  Could that be the cause of the trouble?  (Or part of the
trouble?)  The exclamation point is often used in the shell as a character to
access command history.

Obviously not all of these need to be in the initial RAM file system.

When using MODULES=most, everything works fine.
