I tried investigating the problem 2 days ago: I commented megaraid2 in my /etc/mkinitrd/modules, and created an initrd: mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.4.27-2-686-smp \ /lib/modules/2.4.27-2-686-smp To my surprize, when I loop mounted the initrd to look at it, it had both megaraid modules: /lib/modules/2.4.27-2-686-smp/kernel/drivers/scsi/megaraid.o /lib/modules/2.4.27-2-686-smp/kernel/drivers/scsi/megaraid2.o and "/loadmodules" had a modprobe -k megaraid2. I can't tell what fixed the problem, but I can provide aptitude logs of installed packages since my report in private mail. If someone else finds out the problem isn't fixed, I can give you SSH access, send me your GPG signed SSH key and access dates. I can not reproduce the problem with mkinitd anymore, and can't play with d-i on this live system anymore, I'm tempted to close megaraid2 bugs.
