[arch] cpio and sd-mod for fw

[Damir Perisa]

hi all,

i have now running kernel26 with cpio and initrd configured to 
compare. both boot fine. [1]

however, when i plug an firewire harddrive to the running machine, 
cpio does not load sd-mod automatically whereas initrd does.

uppon plug-in, dmesg says with both this:

ieee1394: Node added: ID:BUS[0-00:1023]  GUID[00d04b4b1a068396]
ieee1394: sbp2: Driver forced to serialize I/O (serialize_io=1)
ieee1394: sbp2: Try serialize_io=0 for better performance
scsi0 : SBP-2 IEEE-1394
ieee1394: sbp2: Logged into SBP-2 device
ieee1394: Node 0-00:1023: Max speed [S400] - Max payload [2048]
  Vendor: WDC WD20  Model: 00BB-00FTA0       Rev: 15.0
  Type:   Direct-Access-RBC                  ANSI SCSI revision: 04

and the initrd one continues with:

SCSI device sda: 390721968 512-byte hdwr sectors (200050 MB)
sda: Write Protect is off
sda: Mode Sense: 11 00 00 00
SCSI device sda: drive cache: write back
SCSI device sda: 390721968 512-byte hdwr sectors (200050 MB)
sda: Write Protect is off
sda: Mode Sense: 11 00 00 00
SCSI device sda: drive cache: write back
 sda: sda1 sda2
sd 0:0:0:0: Attached scsi disk sda
kjournald starting.  Commit interval 5 seconds
EXT3-fs warning: maximal mount count reached, running e2fsck is 
recommended
EXT3 FS on sda2, internal journal
EXT3-fs: mounted filesystem with ordered data mode.

but cpio does not, it does only, if i do modprobe sd-mod by hand. 
something is missing.

greetings,
Damir
