Title:
  [patch] install to pcmcia-connected disk can't find root

Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  I have an external USB drive, connected through a PCMCIA-USB interface. The Dapper Flight-5 install CD installs to the drive without any complains, but the
  system is not bootable. The initrd contains the usb modules, but not the pcmcia modules.

  (I have grub and a copy of kernel and initrd on an internal IDE
  drive.)

  Adding pcmcia and yenta-socket to /etc/initramfs/modules and making a
  new initrd fixes it for me.
