[Bug 292411] [NEW] atl1e.ko missing in initrd, causes kernel panic on thin clients

[Stéphane Graber]

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: initramfs-tools

The atl1e.ko (Attansic Technology Gigabit Ethernet) module is missing in
the default initrd although it's present on an installed system in
/lib/modules/2.6.27-7-generic/kernel/drivers/net/atl1e/

This chipset is present in the latest Asus EEE that we are trying to use
as thin clients, that missing module make them to kernel panic (unable
to mount /) when trying to mount / from the network.

Is there a good reason for it not to be included in the initrd or is
that just a bug of whatever chooses what to put in the initrd ?

Adding it to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and rebuilding the initrd
fixes the issue but I'd prefer not to have to do that.
