Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.109 Severity: normal File: /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs
Dear Maintainer, I was attempting to install Wheezy on an armel TS-419PII with an nbd root and mkinitramfs aborted with: Jan 4 12:47:32 in-target: update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0- 4-kirkwood Jan 4 12:47:32 in-target: mkinitramfs: for root /dev/nbd0p2 missing nbd /sys/b lock/ entry Jan 4 12:47:32 in-target: mkinitramfs: workaround is MODULES=most Jan 4 12:47:32 in-target: mkinitramfs: Error please report the bug Jan 4 12:47:32 in-target: update-initramfs: failed for /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0- 4-kirkwood with 1. Note that I am reporting this bug from another system. The problematic system has installed (in /target from the d-i PoV): ii initramfs-tool 0.109 all generic modular initramfs generat AFAICT MODULES=most is already in effect: # grep MODULES= /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf MODULES=most I also retried after installing nbd-client in the target, nothing changed. Other info from the target system, all chroot'd to /target with /proc, /dev and /sys bind mounted into the chroot: # uname -a Linux celaeno-1 3.2.0-4-kirkwood #1 Debian 3.2.32-1 armv5tel GNU/Linux # ls /sys/block/ mtdblock0 mtdblock3 nbd0 nbd11 nbd14 nbd3 nbd6 nbd9 mtdblock1 mtdblock4 nbd1 nbd12 nbd15 nbd4 nbd7 mtdblock2 mtdblock5 nbd10 nbd13 nbd2 nbd5 nbd8 # ls /sys/block/nbd0/ alignment_offset discard_alignment nbd0p1 pid removable stat bdi ext_range nbd0p2 power ro subsystem capability holders nbd0p3 queue size trace dev inflight nbd0p5 range slaves uevent # lsmod | grep nbd nbd 8651 4 # ls /dev/nbd* /dev/nbd0 /dev/nbd0p5 /dev/nbd12 /dev/nbd2 /dev/nbd6 /dev/nbd0p1 /dev/nbd1 /dev/nbd13 /dev/nbd3 /dev/nbd7 /dev/nbd0p2 /dev/nbd10 /dev/nbd14 /dev/nbd4 /dev/nbd8 /dev/nbd0p3 /dev/nbd11 /dev/nbd15 /dev/nbd5 /dev/nbd9 Looks at least a little like: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=657955 The TS-419 only supports netconsole install so I can't add modules=partman-nbd to the kernel command line. Instead after ssh to installer@host I drop to a shell and run: anna-install partman-nbd apt-install nbd-client (nb apt-install wouldn't take affect until some point after the failure) Thanks, Ian. -- Package-specific info: < all snipped because it was from the system I'm reporting from. > -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
