[Bug 1169581] Re: desktop LTS 12.04.2 broken cifs support on install

[latimerio]

with windows cifs not supporting vers=1.0 anymore it is crucial that the crypto kernel modules are included in the initial ram images.
Otherwise it is not possible to mount any cifs volumes from the ram image.

Bug description:
  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
