Package: kmod
Version: 34.2-2
File: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/kmod
Hi,
on armhf, the initramfs-hook on kmod now fails intermittently, when the
kernel is compiled with CONFIG_MODULE_DECOMPRESS=n and
CONFIG_MODULE_COMPRESS_ALL. I.e. if all modules are present as .ko.xz
files, and userspace is required to decompress those. This prevents
update-initramfs from creating any initrd images.
The failure is triggered by the lines you added when fixes this bug:
copy_exec /usr/lib/*-linux-gnu/liblzma.so.5
copy_exec /usr/lib/*-linux-gnu/libzstd.so.1
There is no /usr/lib/*-linux-gnu directory on armhf. The directory is
named /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf here. Likely other Debian
architectures are affected as well.
I fixed the issue for me by changing these wildcards to
copy_exec /usr/lib/*-linux-gnu*/liblzma.so.5
copy_exec /usr/lib/*-linux-gnu*/libzstd.so.1
Not that I really understand the implications of that change :)
cheers,
David
