[Bug 1169581] [NEW] desktop LTS 12.04/.2 broken cifs support on install

desktop LTS 12.04/.2 broken cifs support on install

While initrd.lz includes cifs.ko the modules des_generic.ko and md4.ko
are missing.

CIFS is very handy when PXE booting Ubuntu LTS Desktop live from Windows OSs as Serva does it here.

The inclusion of des_generic.ko  and md4.ko within initrd.lz would avoid
the need of loading manually made complementary initrd files.

I hope you guys can add these 2 files for 12.04.3 considering this is an LTS.
Thanks
