Bug Description
Binary package hint: initramfs-tools
I'm using an up to date installation of gutsy on a powerpc. The ide drivers
are not being loaded at boot with the 2.6.22 kernels, both powerpc and
powerpc-smp.
This is not a problem with the 2.6.20 kernel that is still installed from Feisty.
I don't know how to supply a log since the boot process stops too early.
Should the boot process detect that there are ide drives or do the drivers
need to be manually loaded?
If I boot with break=top or break=premount I can run the command
"modprobe ide-core" at the initramfs prompt.
I can see that the drivers are then loaded and the drives detected.
Exiting the initramfs shell then completes the boot process.
I "solved" the problem by adding a script,
/etc/initramfs-
I've attached the script.
Please let me know if there is any other info I can help with.
Here's my set-up.
