[Xen-users] mkinitrd --omit-scsi-modules does not work

["Vijay Subramanian" <vnssports@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
I am trying to create an initrd image without scsi modules enabled
(and with xenblk preloaded) to fix a "Kernel panic: Not syncing.
Trying to kill init" error when I boot DomU.

The command I am running is
mkinitrd --omit-scsi-modules --with=xennet --with=xenblk
--preload=xenblk initrd-$(uname -r).img $(uname -r)

However when I extract the initrd image, I see that scsi_mod included.
It looks like it is a dependency for other modules. Please see below.

Is there a way I can reliably remove scsi-modules from the initrd image?

Thanks,
vns
