your 2.6.16 config please?
Ok..attached from the boot directory.
i bet your trouble is not reproducible with stock debian
linux-images.
I am more and more convinced that it is a problem with something else that
just happens to manifest in mkinitramfs. Here is some more info:
First, the last message in the boot sequence, before the runaway modprobe loop
statements, is:
testing anibus ECB encryption
Hopefully that gives you an idea of where this is happening in the process.
Another interesting point, and I'm suspcious that this is related to the
mkinitramfs problem is something to do with md in the /etc/mkinitrd/modules
file. If I put it in, it gives me a warning that module md is not found
(since there is no module md..duh!), but if I leave it out then I seem to
be having problems not pulling up the 2nd half of the raid mirror on the raid
device that root sits on (not so for the other raid devicesinit
problem??).
Note that I first noticed this when I tried using yaird, as yaird gave some
kind of /dev/hdX not found error, despite the fact that my raid 1 is on scsi
devices... When I re-ran mkinitrd, after trying yaird, I got an error
message about the md module that I had in he /etc/mkinitrd/modules file. I
was confused since I believe I had that in there for several years and had
used mkinitrd successfully.
When I boot using a 35 day old initrd image, the raid device that root sits on
has no problem forming.
Sorry, this might be a wild goose chase, and it's not necessarily mkinitramfs
problem.
