* scripts/local-top/md: Don't try to detect raid on non-existant devices
or on whole devices. Quiet other warning messages.
* hook-functions: When generating initramfs, don't complain about missing
modules.

"Nothing looks so like innocence as an indiscretion."
- Oscar Wilde

* init: New scripts directory, init-premount for generic premount
handling (like usplash)

addons.

initramfs-tools (0.14) breezy; urgency=low
"The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast."
- Oscar Wilde
* scripts/functions: Add scsi_boot_events and call it to load sd_mod
* scripts/local-top/md: Autodetect raid level
* scripts/local-top/lvm: Only activate the volumegroup required by
the root device. Don't bother with lvm if the root partition isn't
/dev/mapper/FOO.
* scripts/functions: Fix ide_boot_events. This never worked, even
if I thought it did.
* init: init variable should be lower case. Exported ROOT variable
should be upper case.

Based on a patch from maximilian attems, thanks!

Thanks to Karl Hegbloom for these three patches!

initramfs-tools (0.10) breezy; urgency=low
The "I can see you!" release.
* Unconditionally require busybox. Might revert this eventually
but it's too much of a pain right now do this without
a reasonably environment
* Use modprobe to load modules
* Iterate through /sys/bus/pci and /sys/bus/usb and load drivers
based on their modalias
* Start to use /sbin for things
* Include depmod in the image. Use it at boot time.
* Edit config example to show the modules that do need to be included
manually for this build.

initramfs-tools (0.7) breezy; urgency=low
The "CONFORM!" release.
* Make command line arguments almost match mkinitrd. The -m argument
doesn't make any sense, so it's not supported. Add support for
overriding the confdir, and specifying version no longer expects -v.
* Add sed and grep to the initramfs for now. Will prune these
eventually, but for now mdrun needs them.
* Add mdadm and mdrun to the initramfs.
* Add hookscript directories.
* Call hookscripts
Thanks to David Weinhall <tao@acc.umu.se> for the dependancy-based
hookscripts.

Server.
