Description: When installing a kernel above 2.6.27,
mkinitcpio reports that it can't find the ide_disk module.
W/o this, the machine (apparently) can't reboot with the new
kernel.
Additional info: * Problem occurs when mkinitcpio generates it's stuff w/ kernel 2.6.28 and up. * The specific error is "ERROR: Module `ide[-]disk` no found". After reboot, the system complains about not being able to find /dev/hda3, and echo /dev/* doesn't turn up any dev/hd* or /dev/sd* devices. * Downgrading to kernel 2.6.27.10 yields a bootable system. Steps to reproduce: Update arch on your bazillionty year old laptop that still requires the ide_disk module be loaded at boot. |
This task depends upon
First of all, the ide_disk module does not exist anymore since .28 or .29 and it has been renamed to ide-gd_mod, which we use in the ide hook now. For the pata/sata/scsi hooks (default, ide is only enabled if a user explicitly wants to use it) we need sd_mod for those.
