So far, I've been hacking around in the initrd image's scripts to see where the error occurs (adding a bunch of echo commands). I added "modprobe -k ide-core" to make sure the IDE driver was loaded, but I still got the modprobe block-major-22 errors (as if the kernel still doesn't know (or forgets) that block major device number 22 is handled by that driver). Can anyone tell me what has changed in the kernel regarding initrd images between woody and unstable? Can someone e-mail me a working initrd image from unstable (preferably for kernel 2.4.22)? (Maybe tracking down the difference between working non-working versions will indicate what has to change.)
