The mkinitrd from Redhat and Slackware can not find scsi modules which are in the module tree and modeles.dep. If I build initrd by hand based on what worked for 2.5.47 it starts to load a *still* can't find the module. If this functionality is among the capabilities which were removed during the module loading functionality downgrade, could someone just say so?
