Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.85h
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Running kernel 2.6.16 on stable, root/boot on raid 1 on scsi devices,
rest of system is lvm on raid 1 on same scsi devices.
Upgrading from initrd-tools to initramfs-tools results in the error message:
"runaway modprobe loop"
on boot, and then hangs (hence critical). The looping messages are modprobe for:
net-pf-1
char-major-5-1
I used modules=list and put the same list of modules in the
initramfs config file as are in my initrd config file.
When I unpack the cpio archive I see that initramfs added the module
"unix" to the list, which of course is alised to net-pf-1. Also,
I have no idea what char-major-5-1 is.
