Did something happen to mkinitrd?

[Dave Atkins]

OK, I might be going crazy, but didn't mkinitrd use to include the
modules and dependencies aliased as scsi_host_adapter
in /etc/modprobe.conf?

I've got a USB hard drive that I use as part of my home directories,
that need to be fsck'ed and mounted at boot.

I thought I fixed this by adding the following lines
to /etc/modprobe.conf:

        alias scsi_hostadapter ehci_hcd
        alias scsi_hostadapter sd_mod
        alias scsi_hostadapter usb_storage


The disk is mounted as (/etc/fstab):

         LABEL=storage /media/storage ext3 defaults,noatime 1 1


I fiddled with this for a while earlier in testing, and I thought that
these mod's would cause new kernel installs to run mkinitrd and include
the appropriate modules so that these drives would be available as soon
as udev loads (like it does for the root drive).

I've kind of glossed over the MAKEDEV traffic on the list because I
thought it didn't pertain to me.  Could this be a part of that
craziness?

Thanks,
Dave.
