This removes the need to maintain an explicit list, which always has
some drivers missing.

USB storage device is not recognized at boot after kernel upgrade
to 2.6.30.
It seems that the usb-storage module has been split into several mini
modules, which are not copied to the initramfs image.
In my case usb-storage.ko is copied but ums-cypress.ko is not copied.
I've attached a patch against hook-functions that fixes this, by using
copy_modules_dir to copy all the modules in kernel/drivers/usb/storage,
instead of just usb-storage.
I've set the severity to important because my USB storage device also
happens to be the boot device...
Cheers,
Avi

don't suppress the modprobe error output!!!
this can happen when your depmod was generated by newer m-i-t then Lenny's.
make deb-pkg generated images don't call yet depmod -a in postinst
thus it can happend there and it was already triggered.

don't use the overcomplicated sed to add a newline to really strip it,
just use the simple /etc/init.d/module-init-tools parsing
that should be well enough tested. ;)

this was proposed in patch on #416063 by
Maik Zumstrull <Maik.Zumstrull@gmx.de>
but don't hardcode the list, just add all build ones:

intel-agp.ko sis-agp.ko via-agp.ko

this is basedon a patch by Maik Zumstrull <Maik.Zumstrull@gmx.de>,

I needed to run update-initramfs w/ MODULES=dep (for some 15M BIOS size
limitation w/ lilo on an HP server), turns out that I found the same bug
as #507619 (please refer to it for details), except that I have a LUKS
format over the cciss device.
As bug #507619 describes:
"dep_add_modules() expects to find a /sys/block/cciss/c0d0p file, but
it should be trying /sys/block/cciss!c0d0"
It also mentions:
"fyi, I suspect this may also apply to old-style smart array devices,
where device names are similar, but use 'ida' intead of 'cciss' -
e.g. /dev/ida/c0d0p1."
The following patch fixes it for me (on cciss) and should also fix it
for ida devices.
[ patch got checked and tested life on #debian-boot channel, see below -maks ]
fixed warning:
mkinitramfs: missing cciss!c0d0p2 root /dev/mapper/quakelive-root /sys entry
of course, since the new value of block comes out of
/sys/block/dm-${minor}/slaves, it makes sense that it
would already be in sysfs syntax.

Ferenc seems to be using the xvda1=img1,xvda2=img2 scheme of Xen disks
(this is what xentools gets you) rather than the whole disk with
partition scheme.
In the xvda1/xvda2 scheme /sys/block contains:
# ls /sys/block/
ram0 ram1 ram10 ram11 ram12 ram13 ram14 ram15 ram2 ram3
ram4 ram5 ram6 ram7 ram8 ram9 xvda1 xvda2
In the whole disk scheme it contains xvda as you would expect:
# ls /sys/block/
loop0 loop1 loop2 loop3 loop4 loop5 loop6 loop7 ram0
ram1 ram10 ram11 ram12 ram13 ram14 ram15 ram2 ram3 ram4
ram5 ram6 ram7 ram8 ram9 xvda
I've attached a patch which takes care of this difference.

i've set up an encrypted loop-AES device as the root partition (boot
paramter dev=/dev/loopX) and update-initramfs fails with :
mkinitramfs: missing loop root /dev/loop2 /sys entry
|
|
The root fs is located on LVM and is described in
/etc/fstab with LABEL= notation, which leads
to the following mount output for root filesystem:
mount | grep "on / "
/dev/dm-0 on / type ext3 (rw,noatime,errors=remount-ro)
The /dev/dm-0 itself isn't a symlink to /dev/mapper/, therefore root var
remains /dev/dm-0 after readlink -f attempt.
fix the consequent root detection failure.

must not be a klibc bug, initramfs-tools is first suspect.

When MODULES is set to 'dep' in /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf,
update-initramfs fails to detect correctly the root filesystem(device
and fs used). When called, this command fails with:
----------
mkinitramfs: missing rootfs root rootfs /sys entry
mkinitramfs: workaround is MODULES=most
mkinitramfs: Error please report the bug
update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-2.6.25-2-amd64
----------
So we have 3 cases here. eval "$(mount | awk '/"... returns
* an UUID when the rootfs is mounted with the 'LABEL=' or 'UUID='.
The UUID is a relative symbolic link located in /dev/disk/by-uuid/
pointing to the real device.
* the real disk device.
* /dev/root
When "root=/dev/root", we have to figure out what it is, which is
done in the "if" block. Also changing the matching regex in front
to catch that type.
Once we got the symlink to the root device, we can use 'readlink' to
get the real device. Using 'readlink' on a file which is not a
symlink doesn't matters(case 2).

MODULES=list loads modules very early,
when the firmware loader udev might not be there yet.

"ps3_sys_manager handles system shutdown, so having it in initramfs
allows the user to properly shutdown the system with the power
button if the root file system can not be mounted at boot.
Without it the user must do a forced poweroff."
