[Voyage-linux] rootfs not found on first reboot

[Hermann Gottschalk]

Hi,
i installed voyage 0.7.5 via PXE on a soekris 4501 and after the first
reboot, the system could not mount the rootfs an felt into initramfs.

I figured out that the problem ist, that the ide_generic module is not
loaded in the initrd.

So my workaround:

After having installed voyage like described here
http://linux.voyage.hk/content/getting-started-pxe-boot-v07x and BEFORE
the first reboot mount /dev/hda1 again on /tmp/cf (rw), then chroot to
/tmp/cf.

$ mount /dev/hda1 /tmp/cf
$ chroot /tmp/cf

Here edit /etc/initramfs-tools/modules in adding 'ide_generic'. Then do
a update-initramfs -u (don't worry about the absense of the mtab-file
which is complained).

$ update-initramfs -u

Now do the first reboot and the soekris should boot.

Greetings
Hermann
