Package: initrd-tools
Version: 0.1.76
Severity: normal
Tags: patch

Attached patch modifies mkinitrd so the new qla1280 driver is used
for qlogic 1020/1040 controllers with current 2.6 kernels on alpha.

Maybe it's a good idea to add a Conflicts: to the older (and current)
alpha kernel images, because the qla1280 driver from kernel-source
2.6.8-11 and earlier does not support the qlogic 1020/1040 controllers.

The first release which will add qlogic 1020/1040 support to the
qla1280 driver will be kernel-image-2.6.8-alpha 2.6.8-7, which I'll
upload as soon as kernel-source-2.6.8 2.6.8-13 is available.

Regards, Norbert
