2006-08-18 Thread Joshua Rubin
Hi Maks, I can confirm that removing floppy from /etc/initramfs-tools/modules (which still causes a non-bootable system) and inserting cpqarray (which is the only uncommented module in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules) does in fact allow the system to boot. I have attached the dmesg and lsmod.
