Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.125 Followup-For: Bug #825929 You might want to consider changing the NEWS entry to say that BUSYBOX=y requires busybox version 1:1.22.0-17~ or later installed, not just "modify /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf or install busybox". The paragraph could read:
* If initramfs-tools is configured to use busybox but it is not installed or the installed version is too old, mkinitramfs will now fail. Previously it would quietly use klibc instead, sometimes producing a broken initramfs. You may need to modify /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf or install busybox 1:1.22.0-17~ or later when upgrading. Also, the automatic y to auto did not happen for me. -- Package-specific info: -- initramfs sizes -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18M Sep 29 20:04 /boot/initrd.img-4.6.0-1-amd64 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 18M Nov 9 10:48 /boot/initrd.img-4.7.0-1-amd64 -- /proc/cmdline placeholder root=/dev/mapper/fort-root ro quiet -- resume RESUME=/dev/mapper/fort-swap -- /proc/filesystems ext3 ext2 ext4 fuseblk xfs udf iso9660 jfs msdos vfat ntfs minix hfs hfsplus qnx4 ufs btrfs -- lsmod Module Size Used by cpuid 16384 0 btrfs 1007616 0 xor 24576 1 btrfs raid6_pq 102400 1 btrfs ufs 73728 0 qnx4 16384 0 hfsplus 102400 0 hfs 57344 0 minix 36864 0 ntfs 98304 0 vfat 20480 0 msdos 20480 0 fat 69632 2 vfat,msdos jfs 176128 0 isofs 40960 0 udf 90112 0 crc_itu_t 16384 1 udf xfs 958464 0 libcrc32c 16384 1 xfs crc32c_generic 16384 0 xt_physdev 16384 4 br_netfilter 24576 1 xt_physdev iptable_filter 16384 1 ip_tables 24576 1 iptable_filter x_tables 36864 3 xt_physdev,ip_tables,iptable_filter xen_netback 49152 1 tun 28672 2 xen_blkback 45056 0 nls_utf8 16384 7 cifs 630784 14 sha256_ssse3 32768 0 cmac 16384 0 md4 16384 0 ecb 16384 0 des_generic 24576 0 arc4 16384 0 dns_resolver 16384 1 cifs fscache 61440 1 cifs joydev 20480 0 hid_microsoft 16384 0 bridge 126976 1 br_netfilter stp 16384 1 bridge llc 16384 2 stp,bridge xen_gntdev 20480 2 xen_evtchn 16384 4 xenfs 16384 1 xen_privcmd 16384 5 xenfs binfmt_misc 20480 1 amdkfd 126976 1 radeon 1490944 3 intel_rapl 20480 0 x86_pkg_temp_thermal 16384 0 intel_powerclamp 16384 0 coretemp 16384 0 crct10dif_pclmul 16384 0 crc32_pclmul 16384 0 ghash_clmulni_intel 16384 0 ttm 94208 1 radeon hmac 16384 9 drbg 24576 1 ansi_cprng 16384 0 drm_kms_helper 147456 1 radeon aesni_intel 167936 0 aes_x86_64 20480 1 aesni_intel iTCO_wdt 16384 0 iTCO_vendor_support 16384 1 iTCO_wdt drm 360448 7 ttm,drm_kms_helper,radeon lrw 16384 1 aesni_intel gf128mul 16384 1 lrw fujitsu_laptop 20480 0 glue_helper 16384 1 aesni_intel ablk_helper 16384 1 aesni_intel cryptd 20480 3 ghash_clmulni_intel,aesni_intel,ablk_helper evdev 24576 26 pcspkr 16384 0 serio_raw 16384 0 sb_edac 32768 0 edac_core 57344 1 sb_edac i2c_algo_bit 16384 1 radeon sg 32768 0 video 40960 1 fujitsu_laptop wmi 20480 0 8250_fintek 16384 0 tpm_infineon 20480 0 snd_hda_codec_conexant 24576 1 snd_hda_codec_hdmi 45056 1 snd_hda_codec_generic 69632 1 snd_hda_codec_conexant snd_hda_intel 36864 7 snd_hda_codec 135168 4 snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_codec_conexant,snd_hda_codec_generic,snd_hda_intel mei_me 32768 0 tpm_tis 20480 0 tpm 45056 2 tpm_tis,tpm_infineon snd_hda_core 81920 5 snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_codec_conexant,snd_hda_codec_generic,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel mei 94208 1 mei_me snd_hwdep 16384 1 snd_hda_codec processor 36864 0 lpc_ich 24576 0 mfd_core 16384 1 lpc_ich button 16384 0 snd_pcm 106496 4 snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_core snd_timer 32768 1 snd_pcm snd 81920 22 snd_hwdep,snd_timer,snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_codec_conexant,snd_pcm,snd_hda_codec_generic,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel soundcore 16384 1 snd shpchp 36864 0 i2c_i801 20480 0 loop 28672 0 fuse 98304 3 parport_pc 28672 0 ppdev 20480 0 lp 20480 0 parport 49152 3 lp,ppdev,parport_pc autofs4 40960 2 ext4 593920 3 crc16 16384 1 ext4 jbd2 106496 1 ext4 mbcache 16384 4 ext4 dm_mod 106496 12 sr_mod 24576 0 cdrom 57344 1 sr_mod sd_mod 45056 5 hid_generic 16384 0 usbhid 49152 0 hid 118784 3 hid_generic,hid_microsoft,usbhid uas 24576 0 usb_storage 69632 1 uas crc32c_intel 24576 2 psmouse 126976 0 xhci_pci 16384 0 xhci_hcd 180224 1 xhci_pci isci 135168 3 ehci_pci 16384 0 ahci 36864 0 ehci_hcd 77824 1 ehci_pci libahci 32768 1 ahci libsas 77824 1 isci usbcore 241664 8 uas,usb_storage,ehci_hcd,ehci_pci,usbhid,xhci_hcd,xhci_pci libata 233472 3 ahci,libahci,libsas usb_common 16384 1 usbcore e1000e 233472 0 ptp 20480 1 e1000e scsi_transport_sas 45056 2 isci,libsas pps_core 20480 1 ptp scsi_mod 233472 9 sg,uas,isci,scsi_transport_sas,usb_storage,libata,libsas,sd_mod,sr_mod fjes 28672 0 -- /etc/initramfs-tools/modules -- /etc/kernel-img.conf #
