Hi, I think this bug and #266538 should be merged.
As my test, this problem is happen on only kernel-image-2.4.27. 2.6 series and 2.4.26 haven't any problem. I have a machine with PIIX IDE. After initrd is extracted, /sbin/init try to load ide vendor driver (piix), but strangely only 2.4.27 won't try to do this. I'm checking difference of 2.4.26 and 2.4.27 initrd files, but I haven't found a key yet. Thanks, -- Kenshi Muto [EMAIL PROTECTED]
