--- Begin Message ---Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.55b Severity: important Tags: patch Symptoms: --------- - System doesn't boot, complaining Target filesystem doesn't have /sbin/init (or wherever you init is supposed to be) - / (the root-fs) is on e.g. /dev/hdb1 or any other partition where the minor is >= 0x10 Reason: ------- Bug in parse_numeric() in /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/functions when matching the last option, "*)". The code in question is: minor=$((0x${1#??})) major=$((0x${1%??})) If given 301 (/dev/hda1), the bug doen't manifest, but on 341 (/dev/hdb1) $minor will mistakenly return 1 instead of 65 --- there's just one '?' too many there.
