Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.32 I have a Dell D600 laptop (Intel PIIX IDE controller). It turns out that piix.ko (in ide/pci) must be loaded before the main IDE code otherwise DMA is not turned on (and loading the module and usig hdparm fails too).
So I added "piix" to /etc/mkinitramfs/modules and everything works now. comparing the old and new initramfs: $ diff -r old/conf/modules new/conf/modules 1c1,2 < moduli moduli.dpkg-dist ssh_config ssh_config.dpkg-dist sshd_config ssh_host_dsa_key ssh_host_dsa_key.pub ssh_host_rsa_key ssh_host_rsa_key.pub --- > piix > hooks initramfs.conf modules scripts Hmm - not sure what's going on there - the code seems to try modprobing these one at a time - the hooks and moduli line look like a bug. (ah yes, it is, another report to follow shortly :-) $ cat new/conf/modules piix hooks initramfs.conf modules scripts unix Many many thanks, Adrian -- Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] -*- GPG key available on public key servers Debian GNU/Linux - the maintainable distribution -*- www.debian.org Avoid working with children, animals and Microsoft "operating" systems -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
