Package: initrd-tools Version: 0.1.81.1 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
The subject says it all. When you install Debian Sarge on a machine (Supermicro SuperServer) with a 3ware 9500 SATA (hardware) RAID controller, the installer detects the card fine. System gets installed on /dev/sdax without any problems, but at the reboot after the installation proces, it fails to boot. (hangs after "...savedefault\nboot") I tried installing both the 2.4 and the 2.6 kernel, nothing worked. Google learned me this: http://lists.debian.org/debian-amd64/2004/09/msg00254.html "Yeah, from a shell on another console in debian-installer, I had to manually add 3w_9xxx to /etc/mkinitrd/modules and run mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.8-1-k7-smp 2.6.8-1-k7-smp" I tried this, booting the system with a live-cd an mounting /. Adjusted the path for modules etc and after rebuilding the initrd, I was able to boot the server. After that, I installed a new custom kernel with 3w_9xxx support an without initrd support (just to be sure ;-) and everything is working fine now. I guess this is some bug in the initrd-tools or initrd.img that gets installed with Sarge. I hope this can be fixed in 3.1r1. lspci -v: http://www.stroobant.be/lspci.txt When you need more details or tests, just ask.
