After much tinkering, I think I have found what is missing. if you update-initramfs -k all -c it #warns #W the firmware /lib/firmware/<kernelversion>/aic94xx may be missing, sure enough it was in /lib/firmware I Copied the firmware file to /lib/firmware/kernelversion/ still says its missing... Did some more reading... found this may be related to udev rules.
copied: /lib/udev/firmware.sh /lib/udev/rules.d/50-firmware.rules into the initramfs img procedure for adding / removing from initramfs: mkdir /boot/tmp cd /boot/tmp cat <initrd> | gzip -c | cpio -id /* Add and remove files / edit ... etc... */ cd /boot/tmp find . | cpio --create --format='newc' | gzip > ../newinitramfs.img cd /boot /* backup old initramfs file */ /* rename your initramfs file to the origional in this case it was initrd.img-2.6.28-13-server */ I still think this is a bug. as this creates some udev output that I am currently unsure how to quiet. I found this to be a great learning experience but would not expect people trying to get something to work to have to deal with. Hope this helps someone. -- bug with adaptec aic94xx raid https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315763 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
