Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.93.1
Severity: normal
Hi.
I am just experimenting with initramfs-based kernels and I tried to use
mkinitramfs, with the following command taken from the manpage:

Please notice that it tries to find the firmware in a directory that is
"version agnostic", but it is not always present. It should also seek
directories that have the version of the kernel in its name, like:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
rbr...@chagas:~$ tree /lib/firmware/2.6.29-rc6-2/
/lib/firmware/2.6.29-rc6-2/
`-- e100
|-- d101m_ucode.bin
|-- d101s_ucode.bin
`-- d102e_ucode.bin
1 directory, 3 files
rbr...@chagas:~$
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
It would, then, find the files without any problems.
Thanks for the package, Rogério Brito.
