Description Thomas Fehr 2005-09-08 17:42:06 UTC

I have a system with one disk attached to an ATA controller and another 
disk atached to a normal IDE controller. 

Even if I use mkinitrd from STABLE I do not get modules  "piix" and "ide_disk" 
automatically added to initrd.

Comment 1 Hannes Reinecke 2005-09-09 06:18:55 UTC

Can you attach the output of 'lspci -nv' ?

Comment 2 Andreas Gruenbacher 2005-09-09 13:21:01 UTC

The machine on which this supposedly happened (Lagrange) has a root password I 
don't know, so sorry, no debugging.

Attached requested information.

Comment 5 Andreas Gruenbacher 2005-09-12 15:57:14 UTC

Bug in mkinitrd: only the last controller was effectively added.

Comment 6 Andreas Gruenbacher 2005-09-12 16:46:07 UTC

This bug only affects systems with multiple controllers which are UPGRADED to  
10.0. Fresh installation doesn't detect storage modules in the initrd. Since  
the 9.3 mkinitrd didn't deal with this case properly, the user probably added  
the modules to /etc/sysconfig/kernel:INITRD_MODULES already, in which case  
everything will be fine. If not, the order in which the modules are loaded is  
the same that yast uses. Some device renumbering could result, but we can't do  
any better. 
 
Lowering to Normal and assigning to Hannes for review.

Comment 7 Hannes Reinecke 2005-09-29 12:47:38 UTC

Patch looks correct.
aj, approved for update?

Comment 8 Andreas Jaeger 2005-09-29 14:00:37 UTC

Will an update help people upgrading from 9.3?

Comment 9 Hannes Reinecke 2005-12-19 09:48:54 UTC

Yes, certainly.

Comment 10 Hannes Reinecke 2006-04-28 11:59:20 UTC

Updated mkinitrd checked in. Closing.
