Ok,; this is a bug in initrd-tools, and needs to be fixed.

Will look into that as time per,its.

Can you add the modules you need for your scsi device to /etc/mkinitrd/modules
and rerun the kernel-iumage configuration (dpkg --reconfigure
kernel-image-2.6.11-pseries) in the meantime, should solve your problem.

Can you put the generated initrd somewhere for me to look at ?
