So far the only advice on lkml was to disable all framebuffer drivers except one you are actually using. I have CONFIG_FB=y CONFIG_FB_VESA=y CONFIG_VIDEO_SELECT=y and run framebuffer just fine. I guess someone should investigate it or just disable framebuffer entirely (putting some comments about this).

It may well be missing I do not know. Do you actually have megaraid module?

At the very least please generate it using TESTING_MODPROBE_CONF=/etc/modules.conf generate-modprobe,conf >> /etc/modprobe.conf and recreate initrd. If you get current modul-init-tools from http://supermount-ng.sf.net/mdk-25/ you can skip TESTING_MODPROBE_CONF - it does the right thing. Now I would be _very_ intersted to know why it did not create modprobe.conf. Have you updated or installed module-init-tools? It is going to be a problem. So what people think if I change spec from if new install generate modprobe conf to if modprobe.conf is empty generate modprobe.conf ??? It seems that current case more prblems than it helps ...
