I'm getting ready to use Jaunty on a Dell server with QLogic fibre channel
cards in it. I'm getting the firmware error described here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/udev/+bug/328550. The workaround
says this:
"You can trivially add support by creating your own file in
/etc/initramfs-tools/hooks that copies /lib/udev/firmware.sh and the
/lib/firmware/ql2400_fw.bin file into the initramfs"
(In my case the firmware would be ql23xx_fw.bin ). But I don't understand,
how do I copy a file into the initramfs. I have no idea what that means.
