Hi,

I installed ovzkernel-2.6.18 for debian sarge from
http://debian.systs.org/ on a machine running inside vmware. During installation (apt-get ovzkernel-2.6.18) I got some warning:
add_modules_dep_2_5: modprobe failed
FATAL: Module sd_mod not found.
WARNING: This failure MAY indicate that your kernel will not boot!
but it can also be triggered by needed modules being compiled into
the kernel.

and indeed it doesn't boot. I did some searching and found that someone had a similar problem, and solved that problem by recreating initrd using something like
mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-028stab023.1+31-openvz 2.6.18-028stab023.1+31-openvz
so I tried the same but also got the same warning and the kernel doesn't boot either. The vmware machine has a SCSI disk with the module
mptscsih (Fusion), so I tried to add that module to /etc/mkinitrd/modules and rerun mkinitrd, but also without success.
Any hints what else I should try please?
