+ # mpt3sas has an alias to mpt2sas now, but since mpt3sas isn't loaded
+ # when generating the initrd from kernel < 4.4, it's not included.
+ # The other direction has the same issue:
+ # When generating the initrd from kernel >= 4.4, mpt2sas isn't loaded,
+ # so it's not included.
+ # Both ways result in an unbootable initrd.
