OK, there are a couple of things to check.  First of all, make sure
you have MODULES=most listed in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf.

grep -v \# /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf|uniq

MODULES=most

BUSYBOX=y

KEYMAP=n

BOOT=local

DEVICE=eth0

NFSROOT=auto

Also check /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/driver-policy, if it exists.

$ ls /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/driver-policy
ls: cannot access /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/driver-policy: No such
file or directory

Generally, this file only exists if, during installation, you said
you wanted an initial RAM file system with only what is required
to boot the system.  If this is the case,
/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/driver-policy will likely exist and
specify MODULES=dep.  And that overrides what is specified in
/etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf.  Change
/etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/driver-policy to specify
MODULES=most too.  For now, do *not* list eata in
/etc/initramfs-tools/modules.  Then re-run update-initramfs,
re-run lilo (if lilo is your boot loader), shutdown and
reboot.  Let me know the results.


I ran:

update-initramfs -u -k 2.6.32-3-686

then rebooted with break=mount

cat /proc/modules

showed lots of modules but *not* eata.
