Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.130
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

initramfs-tools is missing the Intel Volume Management Device (vmd.ko)
that was included in kernel 4.9 and later.

This sets up NVME disks in a separate PCI domain and is needed to access
them when the system is configured this way.  It must be available in
the initramfs to locate the root disk if configured as boot.

This can be fixed with the following trivial patch:
--- hook-functions.old	2018-01-04 13:58:03.256828153 -0500
+++ hook-functions	2017-10-13 15:09:26.000000000 -0400
