[Grml] Remove dmraid package from GRML?

[Eric Thirolle]

I noticed the following error printed to console during bootup of my custom
GRML Live CD:

modprobde: module dm-raid45 not found in modules.dep


I did a bit of research into this module, and found it is called "dmraid"
in the Debian package repositories. This package is available for
wheezy/jessie, but not installed by default. However, "dmraid" *is*
included in GRML's FAI classes:

# grep -R dmraid /etc/grml/fai/*
/etc/grml/fai/config/package_config/GRML_XL:dmraid
/etc/grml/fai/config/package_config/GRML_MEDIUM:dmraid
/etc/grml/fai/config/package_config/GRML_SMALL:dmraid
/etc/grml/fai/config/package_config/GRML_FULL:dmraid


The dmraid package is responsible for support for so-called "ATARAID",
which is RAID for IDE drives provided by a number of old hardware RAID
cards (details here: https://packages.debian.org/wheezy/dmraid &
https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=ataraid&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+8.3-RELEASE
).

Given how old this RAID driver is... should dmraid be removed from the GRML
FAI classes? Or is there something else that needs to be done to correct
the "module dm-raid45 not found in modules.dep" error on the custom Live
CD?

Thanks!

Eric

Mika,

Excellent, thank you. I was able to get rid of that error message by
employing the suggested patch in that Debian bug report,
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=745697. I.e., I simply
commented out the line "force_load dm-raid45" in
grml-live/grml_chroot/usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/dmraid. Then when I
built my next version of my custom GRML ISO using grml-live, it booted up
cleanly, without the error "modprobe: module dm-raid45 not found in
modules.dep".

Cheers,

Eric

This is
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=411172#103
and
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=745697
so this should be fixed in Debian.
