Title:
  after upgrade from gutsy to hardy producing unbootble system because
  of missing IDE-drivers

Status in “initramfs-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

  I just updated from gutsy to hardy, after rebooting my system wasn't able to read the root-partition. 
  This is caused by the changes in the kernel-ide-driver-system. Under gutsy I used the "via82cxxx" and "ide-disk"-driver to accesse the hdd. under hardy "pata-via" and "sd_mod" are needed.

  My current setup:
  /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf
  --------------------------------------------------------------------

  MODULES=list

  --------------------------------------------------------------------

  /etc/initramfs-tools/modules
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------
  ide_disk
  via82cxxx
  ext3
  # for changed kernel-drivers
  pata-via
  sd_mod
  ------------------------------------------------------------------------

  
  Maybe ist's not common to to use "MODULES=list" but at least a warning should be displayed to the user to verify the content of "/etc/initramfs-tools/modules". An automatic conversion of the entries would be hint, of course.

  Perhaps the file "/etc/modules" needs to be checked / updated also.
