Maybe debian initrd > doesn't handle modules.order properly? we do shipp modules.order in initramfs. hmm thomas what are your MODULES settings, please post output of egrep MODULES -r /etc/initramfs-tools/ if MODULES=dep appears it could be that the sys walking code has a bug in adding the wrong module to the initramfs. please change it to the safe and default MODULES=most and regenerate: update-initramfs -u -k <kernelversion> you can check any initramfs if it has the relevant modules with lsinitramfs /boot/initrd.img-2.6.35-trunk-amd64 | grep ahci thanks -- maks -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-ide" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
