From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/4.76 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.2-2 i686) mkinitrd, when putting ppa (the parallel port scsi module) into the initrd, fails to add the lowlevel parallel port driver, so when ppa attempts to load at boot time, you see a bunch of messages about unresolved symbols. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. attach a device which makes use of ppa.o 2. run mkinitrd and point lilo.conf at that initrd 3. boot Actual Results: unresolved symbols encountered in /lib/ppa.o (which is the path to the ppa.o driver on the initrd) Expected Results: no unresolved symbols, because the lowlevel parallel port driver is included in the initrd
Jeremy: I just committed a fix for this to CVS and bumped the version number of mkinitrd. Please build it into dist-7.3 if you are confident in the change.
Added parport as well since it's required by parport_pc and building now
