Bug#293569: kernel-image-2.6.8-2-686-smp incorectly tries to load megaraid2 on a 2.6 kernel
Hi, Still nothing.. I installed this kernel, added scsi_mod and megaraid to /etc/mkinitrd/modules.. Still doesn't boot.. Any more ideas?

They work for booting my 2850. Best. Satadru

Unfortunately the tool the generates the ramdisk doesn't know how to work this out. Actually, I don't think we know how it could work this out, short of puting everything pluss the kitchen sink into the initrd image. Could you please try adding megaraid to /etc/mkinitrd/modules and rebuilding the intird image using mkinitrd on the command line. This will likely result in an ininitrd image that tries to modprobe megaraid2 and megaraid, but only the latter will succeede as only it will be inculded in the initrd image as only it exists in 2.6. Hopefully this will allow your system to boot. I have reassigned this bug to initrd-tools as the problem seems to lie there rather than with the kernel image itself. running mkinitrd: uk2a:/home/robin# mkinitrd -o /tmp/initrd.img 2.6.8-2-686-smp /usr/sbin/mkinitrd: add_modules_dep_2_5: modprobe failed FATAL: Module megaraid2 not found.
