Package: initrd-tools Version: 0.1.74 Followup-For: Bug #278887 In the script /usr/sbin/mkinitrd, Line 497, is a find which seems to search /proc/scsi for modules needed to mount the root device. If one has the megaraid2 module loaded, there will be a directory called "megaraid" in /proc/scsi.
This seems to have the effect of making /usr/sbin/mkinitrd add "megaraid" instead of "megaraid2" to initrd/loadmodules, which in turn renders the system unbootable on DELL PowerEdge * Servers equipped with the DELL PERC 4e/Si and others (PowerEdge 1850 for my part). Workaround is to add "megaraid2" on a line by its own to /etc/mkinitrd/modules and run dpkg-reconfigure kernel-image-<version> e.g. dpkg-reconfigure kernel-image-2.4.27-1-686-smp Regards, Philipp (Beware, system information below is from a different host, but that should have almost the same versions installed. At least initrd-tools is the same) -- System Information: Debian Release: 3.1 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.4.27-1-686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Versions of packages initrd-tools depends on: ii coreutils [fileutils] 5.2.1-2 The GNU core utilities ii cpio 2.5-1.1 GNU cpio -- a program to manage ar ii cramfsprogs 1.1-6 Tools for CramFs (Compressed ROM F ii dash 0.5.1-3 The Debian Almquist Shell ii fileutils 5.2.1-2 The GNU file management utilities ii util-linux 2.12-10 Miscellaneous system utilities -- no debconf information
