[Bug 56854] megaraid_sas driver works on install cd, not included in ramdisk for installed kernel

[tgpt]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: linux-image-2.6.15-26-amd64-generic


The 6.06 and 6.06.1 amd64 install media supports the Dell perc5i (which uses the megaraid_sas driver), given existing issues with that driver which can be worked around.  This controller is present in the new Dell x9xx-series servers, which are likely to become very common as the x8xx servers are phased out.

However, once you've done the installation, the initramfs of the
installed kernel does not include this driver, meaning you can't
actually boot from the array unless you first boot from the CD in rescue
mode and build a new one by adding megaraid_sas to
/etc/mkinitramfs/modules and using update-initramfs.

Any chance a future image update can include this driver in the
production initramfs as well as the one on the installation CD?
