Sergey, you're conflating two things here. You're talking about the installer initrd, which does not need to include aic94xx-seq.fw because it's in the scsi-firmware udeb which is loaded at run-time. However, the folks reporting this bug are talking about the initramfs that's used on the installed system, which is generated using an entirely separate system (initramfs-tools).
On my Natty system, /lib/firmware/aic94xx-seq.fw is in the initramfs. The odd thing is that the code that puts it there has been there for a long time, back to Ubuntu 8.10, so I don't quite see why this wouldn't have worked in older releases; it's possible that this is system- specific, and that maybe I'm just lucky that the file is present here. This needs some more analysis. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/315763 Title: netboot: aic94xx sequencer firmware is missing from initrd.gz -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
