Subject: initrd-tools: Same here. (3W-6200)

Package: initrd-tools
Version: 0.1.82
Followup-For: Bug #318326

I have a 3ware 3W-6200, and after a kernel upgrade i found that my system
would no longer boot. Since i'd (stupidly) removed the old working
kernel package, recovery was a real pain in the neck.

I finally did figure out that the problem was corrected by adding 3w-xxxx
to /etc/mkinitrd/modules and running mkinitrd to re-generate the initrd with
this module included.

I've never had this problem before, so i'm guessing that a default has
changed somewhere!
