Is this the esp module again or a different one?
It's esp again.
This is strange because the installer should add the esp module in
/etc/initramfs-tools/modules, which in turn should ensure that the initrd
contains and loads it.
I'm pretty sure it's in the initramfs image. I booted from the floppies,
switched to the 2nd and 3rd virtual console and started poking around last
night.
Could you check if esp is listed in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules?
Could you check if the initrd actually contains the module or not (should
be under /lib/modules/...; you can check when dropped into the debug
shell)?
It is listed there, and I did see the esp module where I thought it was
supposed to be (with the kernel modules). I will verify this again tonight, as
I am away from the machine right now (work).
I did not get dropped to a debug shell. The system hung, and I couldn't even
do a Stop-A on the keyboard to drop to PROM. I had to cycle the power, boot
like I'm doing an install ("rescue" and "expert" doesn't work from SILO, fails
to locate the root filesystem after booting the kernel).
I booted like I was doing an install, let it detect all the hardware, then
switched to the 2nd and 3rd virtual consoles to do the troubleshooting.

No, as there are no different issues I don't think a separate report adds
anything. Thanks very much for your tests!
No problem! :-)
