https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=255816 Summary: mkinitrd has a FATAL error when dealing with modules Product: SUSE Linux 10.1 Version: Final Platform: x86-64 OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Critical Priority: P5 - None Component: Kernel AssignedTo: kernel-maintainers@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: Curt.Blank@curtronics.com QAContact: qa@suse.de I get the following FATAL error from mkinitrd because the modules it wants which are not in the INITRD_MODULES variable but it decides it needs them even though they are gen'd into the kernel. It appears it make the initrd file but without all necessary components. # mkinitrd -k vmlinuz-2.6.16.27-0.9-smp-bnfsrvr.new -i initrd-2.6.16.27-0.9-smp-bnfsrvr.tmp Root device: /dev/md0 (mounted on / as unknown) Module list: raid0 raid1 raid5 linear (xennet xenblk) Kernel image: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.16.27-0.9-smp-bnfsrvr.new Initrd image: /boot/initrd-2.6.16.27-0.9-smp-bnfsrvr.tmp Shared libs: lib64/ld-2.4.so lib64/libacl.so.1.1.0 lib64/libattr.so.1.1.0 lib64/libc-2.4.so lib64/libdl-2.4.so lib64/libhistory.so.5.1 lib64/libncurses.so.5.5 lib64/libpthread-2.4.so lib64/libreadline.so.5.1 lib64/librt-2.4.so Cannot determine dependencies of module raid0.
