Worked ok here with lvm for /usr, /home, etc. Still affected by
https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1525#c73
just like mkinitrd, putting the loading of pata_acpi before
the loading of pata_via, which makes my dvd drive unusable
till I edit the initrd to reverse the load order.

What controls the order it chooses for the loading of modules?
