Hi,
the latest module-init-tool update introduces R/w file locking on
modules in modprobe. This of course fails on any read-only filesystem,
like the cramfs initrd.
This affects any initrd build with the new modprobe so all netboot and
businesscard D-I CDs are broken now and the daily build images
starting today probably too.
Also anyone installing a kernel-image package will run into the same
problem.
I patched module-init-tools to fall back to a read-only lock on
EROFS but that lock is probably only usefull to lockup in loops.
Anyway, please test this patch:
MfG
Goswin
