Bug#749016: (no subject)

[Matthew Vernon <mcv21@cam.ac.uk>]

Hi,

I found this bug in 3.16.7-ckt11-1+deb8u5 ; it's a bit odd, though: if
the value of root= is correct, then everything works fine; if I nobble
root (e.g. root=/does/not/exist ), then I trip over this bug - I would
expect to wind up in initramfs with /dev/sdXXX populated as appropriate,
whereas I instead end up in initramfs with none of my storage found.

modprobe -a sd_mod made things more correct, but I wasted a chunk of
time being confused first.

Regards,

Matthew
