Yes, I see it: (initramfs) ls lib/firmware ql2100_fw.bin ql2300_fw.bin ql2400_fw.bin ql2200_fw.bin ql2322_fw.bin ql2500_fw.bin > > If it's there, what happens if you remove the module and > > then reload it: > > > > modprobe -r qla2xxx > > modprobe qla2xxx This works! [...] sda: sda1 sda2 sda3 sda4 ... [...] sdb: sdb1 sdb2 However, after disks have been detected, I get: (initramfs) exit Begin: Running scripts/local-premount ... done mount: mounting /dev/sdb1 on /root failed: No such device (It seems disks have been renamed from sdb, sdc to sda, sdb: An extra USB-stick was present during initial installation.) Hrm, should I hack some file in /etc/initramfs-tools/ now? More hints are appreciated.
