ide_generic does no longer exist in squeeze as linux-2.6 switched to libata based drivers. I am puzzled that d-i still uses the oldstyle device names and not UUID's. Oh right your d-i is not a daily built, but out of date. You are looking for ata_generic module, also please provide more info along the lines of http://wiki.debian.org/InitramfsDebug thanks -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
