it doesn't work here too :(

strange :(
here evrything is ok
which module-init-tools do you use ?
in case the one from cooker/or the latest from Andrey,
could you check how does it work with my package ?

could you include smth similar, but smarter then :

it even could fit on a floppy probably , if there was a way
to use modular ext2
(( that is with xfs root, it may already work with all other fs's)
is there a possibility to use minix for initrd ?
best,
svetljo
PS.
using debian's modular-ide patch with :
built in ide -> a single oops at cd initialisation
moduler ide -> no problems, no oopses
may be we should add some ifdef's
