Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.73
Severity: grave
Tags: patch
Justification: renders package unusable
I'm using lvm2 and when I upgraded to mkinitramfs-tool the system couldn't
boot anymore (stock debian 2.6.17-1-k7 kernel). The problem was vgchange
couldn't detect my vgs. First I realized that ide-disk module was not
loaded (the main problem that causes vgchange to fail). I added the module
manually. But even so, is like the drivers or vgchange need some extra
time to come up. I had to add a sleep between the the modprobe ide-disk
and vgchange to make it work. Finally the specific ide module (amd74xx in
my setup) was not loaded either, and when it's not loaded at a very first
stage it can't be used so I couldn't use DMA transfers with my HD. I had
to hack again the script to manually load this module (before ide-generic
was loaded).
Here is a very very very ugly patch to fix this problems (in my setup,
this is not even a general solution). I just attach it so u can see better
how I can boot my system now. I don't know if it's udev failing to detect
my hardware, but this was working just fine before that upgrade.
Thanks for your help and time and excuse my poor english...

Recent initramfs-tools versions provide that.
Nowadays the lvm stuff is located in the lvm2 package which
provides /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/lvm2 which is
executed after init-premount that runs the udev hooks for populating
the /dev tree. So this bug shouldn't be present with anymore.
If you still encounter any problems please feel free to reopen the
bugreport or just report a new one.
