Package: initrd-tools
Version: 0.1.72
Severity: grave

mkinitrd fails if the specified storage modules are compiled into the
kernel. This makes it unusable on s390 as any current kernels have them
compiled in.

| /usr/sbin/mkinitrd: add_modules_dep_2_5: modprobe failed
| FATAL: Module dasd_eckd_mod not found.
| FATAL: Module dasd_fba_mod not found.
| Failed to create initrd image.

Herbert said: "Well if mkinitrd didn't check the existence of those
modules then people who don't configure them into the kernel at all
will get an unbootable system.

As checking the kernel config file is pretty much unmaintainable
at the moment, this is the best we can do.

I don't see why he can't just compile them as modules, or don't use
initrd's at all."

I have no experience with s390, but assuming it supports PCI:

mkinitrd could run discover to check which hardware is installed
and which modules are needed, even if they are compiled into
the current kernel.

Or you could add discover to the linuxrc script to figure out
which modules to load at boot time.

Last but not least mkinitrd could print a precautionary note at
runtime asking the user to add the storage modules to mkinitrd.conf.

This differs from the 2.4 support, which don't fails in this case.

The same problem applys to root-on-lvm and compiled-in dm which is
pretty normal for non-distribution kernels and can't work without
initrd.

non-distribution kernels?

Package: initrd-tools
Description: tools to create initrd image for prepackaged Linux kernel
 This package contains tools needed to generate an initrd image suitable for
 booting a prepackaged Linux kernel image (as shipped with the Debian main
