Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.120
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I tried creating an initrd on a system with an NVMe SSD PCIe card. The card is supported
using the nvme kernel module and with the 4.2 kernel I was successfully able to boot
the system.
However, the upcoming 4.4 kernel includes a commit that moves the nvme module from
drivers/block/nvme into its own directory drivers/nvme (see
https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/57dacad5f2288e3de91f99b29f07b4a2793446d2),
therefore preventing it from being automatically added to the list of modules
included in the initrd.
Adding the module manually to the initramfs configuration solves the issue.
Here's a patch that adds the module again to the 'most' set:
