Bug#417938: Acknowledgement (lvm2create_initrd missing pieces)

More things missing:

mdadm
libdevmapper.so.1.02
libreadline.so.5
libselinux.so.1
libsepol.so.1
libncurses.so.5
libdl.so.1
pivot_root

Further it doesn't copy my /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf over.

Finally, the decription says a requirement is that all modules needed for
booting must be compiled into the kernel... yet the script calls modprobe -
but it doesn't include modprobe in the initrd. So either it should include
it (and then the /lib/modules/`uname -r`) tree, or it shouldn't attempt to
use it.

As of now I'm finally able use the initrd to get RAID and LVM up and the
system booted. If I find anything else, I'll let you know.

 Never use 'sed' when 'tr' can do the job;
 Never invoke 'tr' when 'cat' is sufficient;
 Avoid using 'cat' whenever possible" -- Taylor's Laws of Programming
