Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.90a
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
I found that post install of multipath-tools if an initrd image is
updated, the kernel goes unbootable. On looking at the failure, it shows
that the root device was held busy when in initrd's /init it tries to
mount the device to /root
The workaround was to remove multipath-tools and regenerate the initrd
image. IIRC this bug was related to kpartx.
I had seen this issue on my laptop and with the workaround have been able
to avoid this bug.
