retitle 298736 initrd-tools - mkinitrd does not find scsi driver on 2.6.10
thanks

I was wrong, proc legacy interface was enabled bug it does not longer
contain the information about the driver.

Seems that it needs to be finaly optained from sysfs.

There is something like

 if [ ! -d /proc/scsi ]; then
  echo "$PROG: Cannot determine SCSI module" >&2
  exit 1
 fi

in mkinitrd.

How can I reproduce your problem?

Regards

Harri

thanks

Since this bug is specific to kernels newer than the ones we're shipping,
it's not RC for sarge.

Thanks,

Kernel patch drivers-scsi-generic_proc_info.dpatch keeps this from biting us.
Post Hoary early boot stuff will be all 2.6 and /sys based. Marking this as not
for us.

Hi folks,

I am not sure whether this bug report is still unresolved,
but attached you can find a possible patch. It should work
with recent 2.6.11 and 2.6.12 kernels.

Regards

Harri
