Version: 2.6.8-2
Severity: important
Justification: prevents boot
The package runs mkinitrd to build an initial ramdisk
The hardware is using the Dell 'megaraid' controller which was supported as megaraid2 under the 2.4 series kernels.
mkinitrd probes the root and finds megaraid2 and add the line to loadmodules in the initrd:
modprobe -k vesafb > /dev/null 2>&1
modprobe -k fbcon 2> /dev/null
modprobe -k unix 2> /dev/null
modprobe -k megaraid2
modprobe -k sd_mod
the version of the megaraid module shipped with the 2.6 kernel is v2, and should support the controller just fine
running mkinitrd:
uk2a:/home/robin# mkinitrd -o /tmp/initrd.img 2.6.8-2-686-smp
/usr/sbin/mkinitrd: add_modules_dep_2_5: modprobe failed
FATAL: Module megaraid2 not found.
WARNING: This failure MAY indicate that your kernel will not boot!
but it can also be triggered by needed modules being compiled into
the kernel.
