Description of problem:
mkinitrd-3.5.19-1 has i2o_pci hard coded as a module.  2.6 kernel I2O
no longer makes i2o_pci into a kernel module, so mkinitrd fails.  This
results in /boot containing no initrd image and installation of new
kernels fail, as grubby aborts adding the new kernel to the menu when
mkinitrd fails.

No module i2o_pci found for kernel 2.6.5-1.319smp, aborting.

Comment 1 Jeremy Katz 2004-04-15 03:11:29 UTC
Did something to get the same effect but without the side-effect of
breaking 2.4 for 3.5.21

Comment 2 Warren Togami 2004-05-04 01:48:49 UTC
An upcoming upstream kernel patch will completely remove i2o_pci. 
Will this break anything wrt mkinitrd?  If not then we can close this bug.
