There's no megaraid2 driver in 2.6. Megaraid 2.0.x is megaraid.ko, the newer 2.2.x driver is split into two modules, megaraid_mbox.ko and megaraid_mm.ko. In any case mkinitrd shouldn't rely on /proc/scsi at all.
Bug#278887: initrd-tools: Caused by megaraid2 module using /proc/scsi/megaraid
Package: initrd-tools Version: 0.1.74 Followup-For: Bug #278887 In the script /usr/sbin/mkinitrd, Line 497, is a find which seems to search /proc/scsi for modules needed to mount the root device. If one has the megaraid2 module loaded, there will be a directory called megaraid in /proc/scsi. This seems to have the effect of making /usr/sbin/mkinitrd add megaraid instead of megaraid2 to initrd/loadmodules, which in turn renders the system unbootable on DELL PowerEdge * Servers equipped with the DELL PERC 4e/Si and others (PowerEdge 1850 for my part). Workaround is to add megaraid2 on a line by its own to /etc/mkinitrd/modules and run dpkg-reconfigure kernel-image-version e.g. dpkg-reconfigure kernel-image-2.4.27-1-686-smp Regards, Philipp (Beware, system information below is from a different host, but that should have almost the same versions installed.
