Package: kernel-package
Version: 13.014+nmu1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
This bug persists on Jessie, was reported on Wheezy.
I am unable to mkinitramfs with a newer kernel's modules with kernel-package.
The output initrd is missing the kernel modules for the packaged kernel.
Thereby fails to boot with "cannot find rootfs" on boot.
They seemed to be gzipped but installed correctly in /lib/modules.

Ah. You were installing a kernel, not building one. That
clarifies a few things.

I am sorry to hear that. It seems like you stumbled across a
driver that is non-free, and yes, it is indeed easier with other
distributions to get a driver with the default install.

I am sorry you had a bad user experience with Debian. I hope
that your new distribution serves you better.
