[Yaird-devel] Bug#361074: yaird: kernel panic after changeing sata controller

[Emil Nowak]

Package: yaird
Version: 0.0.12-9
Severity: normal

I had all my sata disk connected to silicon image controler (on PCI). Today I
have upgraded my mainboard to Gigabyte (which has sata_via controller). I
would like to use the built-in controller instead of external one on pci.

Just after connecting disk to built-in via controller I have kernel panic
because there is no sta_via.ko module in intrd. 

Regenereating initrd doesn't help here.

What is the best way to do mainboard-upgrades with generic kerneles and
initrd. What are advantages for using generic-kernles if they always fail
after hrdware upgrade?
