udev and yaird
I'm trying to puzzle out a problem with udev and yaird. Please bear with me -- I suspect that this is a yaird problem, but I'm not entirely certain.
I'm using 2.6.14, Debian unstable. (2.6.14-2-k7)
Symptom: the ide-cd module does not load at boot time. No /dev entries are created.
Problem: when I use cpio to look at the boot image, I see that the init script loads ide-{core, generic, disk} and some other modules, but not ide-cd.
Question: doesn't the ide-cd load the way it used to in prior versions of the kernel created with mkinitrd?
I suspect that the problem is that yaird doesn't use the udev script under /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts, for example. That udev script would test each ide device and load ide-cd if it found a cdrom.
Even if I modify /etc/modules I still don't get ide-cd in yaird images. Instead, yaird just looks for the bare minimum to mount the root file system:
Quoted 4 lines
yaird: goal: mountdir, / (
/etc/yaird/Default.cfg:143)
yaird: action: insmod,/lib/modules/2.6.14-2-k7/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-core.ko{optionList=-- }
yaird: action: insmod,/lib/modules/2.6.14-2-k7/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-generic.ko{optionList=-- }
yaird: action: insmod,/lib/modules/2.6.14-2-k7/kernel/drivers/ide/ide-disk.ko{optionList=-- }
Quoted 8 lines

yaird: action: insmod,/lib/modules/2.6.14-2-k7/kernel/fs/reiserfs/reiserfs.ko{optionList=-- }
yaird: action: mount, /mnt {device=/dev/md1 fsType=reiserfs isRoot=1 options=-- }
So, why doesn't yaird -- or something else -- modprobe ide-cd anymore? Is this a distro problem, a yaird problem, or a "udev needs to remind yaird to include something in /etc/yaird/Default.cfg" problem?
Thanks,
Moshe
