Description Per Winkvist 2006-08-03 20:41:13 UTC
I'm using mkinitrd-5.0.32-1 (FC-5 with all updates)
I have my FC installation on an external USB drive (which I boot from) and I 
had to add 
     withusb=yes
in mkinitrd file to allow it to include usb drivers in the initrd. Otherwise I 
get a panic during boot where it can't find root fs.

It would be nice if the usb-storage stuff could be included by default when 
the root or boot device is on usb???
