Package: initrd-tools Version: 0.1.70 Severity: important
On powerpc/pegasos, when creating a initrd from the kernel-image-2.6.6-powerpc kernel image, mkinitrd fails to make the initrd load the via8cxxx module. The initrd is thus unable to mount the filesystem, since there are no ide drivers, and makes the resulting system totally unusable. Adding via82cxxx to /etc/mkinitrd/modules solve this, but this is no acceptable solution in the case of the kernel-image package, which will probably pull in the mkinitrd at install time, and thus not let the user add this module. This bug should probably be RC, but pegasos is only a minor subarch, so ...
