--- Begin Message ---Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.113 Severity: normal Hi, The initramfs tools generally build an initramfs that is compressed; if a hook script uses the prepend_initramfs function in the hook-functions library, however (as the intel-microcode package does), then that prepended part of the initramfs is not compressed. When I have a problem, usually my preferred way of debugging is to run "mkdir foo; cd foo; zcat $initramfs | cpio -i", and then using normal file operations. When trying that on a file that starts with uncompressed data, zcat will however refuse to open the file (unless the -f parameter is used, but then compression is switched off and not switched on afterwards when we do encounter compressed data); cpio doesn't have a transparent decompress option AFAICT; and I'm not sure how to figure out what the offset of the compressed data is. As a result, the only way that I can see to inspect my initramfs is to uninstall the intel-microcode package, regenerate the initramfs, and inspect it. This can't be the intention. -- Package-specific info: -- initramfs sizes -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12M Aug 13 08:01 /boot/initrd.img-3.10-1-amd64 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12M Sep 2 18:24 /boot/initrd.img-3.10-2-amd64 -- /proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.10-2-amd64 root=UUID=9e3c4c8e-014c-4473-816e-3eaa78571af9 ro pcie_aspm=force i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 i915.lvds_downclock=1 i915.i915_enable_fbc=1 vga=788 quiet -- /proc/filesystems ext4 fuseblk -- lsmod Module Size Used by usbhid 40964 0 hid 81894 1 usbhid parport_pc 22409 0 ppdev 12763 0 lp 13025 0 autofs4 27746 3 parport 31901 3 lp,ppdev,parport_pc bnep 17535 2 rfcomm 33471 10 pci_stub 12429 1 vboxpci 19094 0 vboxnetadp 25443 0 snd_hrtimer 12604 1 vboxnetflt 23697 0 vboxdrv 217395 3 vboxnetadp,vboxnetflt,vboxpci cpufreq_userspace 12576 0 cpufreq_stats 12866 0 cpufreq_powersave 12454 0 cpufreq_conservative 14184 0 binfmt_misc 12925 1 uinput 17439 1 nfsd 192007 13 auth_rpcgss 39085 1 nfsd oid_registry 12419 1 auth_rpcgss nfs_acl 12511 1 nfsd nfs 110304 0 lockd 59673 2 nfs,nfsd dns_resolver 12641 1 nfs fscache 37551 1 nfs sunrpc 164583 23 nfs,nfsd,auth_rpcgss,lockd,nfs_acl ipt_MASQUERADE 12594 3 iptable_nat 12646 1 nf_conntrack_ipv4 18549 1 nf_defrag_ipv4 12483 1 nf_conntrack_ipv4 nf_nat_ipv4 12950 1 iptable_nat nf_nat 18378 3 ipt_MASQUERADE,nf_nat_ipv4,iptable_nat nf_conntrack 59788 5 ipt_MASQUERADE,nf_nat,nf_nat_ipv4,iptable_nat,nf_conntrack_ipv4 ip_tables 22036 1 iptable_nat x_tables 19041 2 ip_tables,ipt_MASQUERADE tun 22444 2 loop 22869 0 fuse 67503 1 ecryptfs 72544 0 snd_hda_codec_hdmi 31720 1 snd_hda_codec_conexant 40314 1 cdc_mbim 12736 0 uvcvideo 66788 0 cdc_ncm 17458 1 cdc_mbim videobuf2_vmalloc 12848 1 uvcvideo videobuf2_memops 12519 1 videobuf2_vmalloc coretemp 12898 0 videobuf2_core 31098 1 uvcvideo usbnet 22817 2 cdc_mbim,cdc_ncm videodev 92407 2 uvcvideo,videobuf2_core kvm_intel 123583 0 mii 12675 1 usbnet media 18240 2 uvcvideo,videodev kvm 301458 1 kvm_intel cdc_wdm 17511 1 cdc_mbim cdc_acm 22246 0 btusb 17678 0 crc32c_intel 21850 0 bluetooth 170002 22 bnep,btusb,rfcomm ghash_clmulni_intel 13062 0 arc4 12543 2 iTCO_wdt 12831 0 iTCO_vendor_support 12704 1 iTCO_wdt snd_hda_intel 35718 0 snd_hda_codec 122850 3 snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_codec_conexant,snd_hda_intel snd_hwdep 13189 1 snd_hda_codec snd_pcm 68525 3 snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel aesni_intel 50895 2 iwldvm 111931 0 snd_page_alloc 13018 2 snd_pcm,snd_hda_intel mac80211 358182 1 iwldvm thinkpad_acpi 61301 0 aes_x86_64 16719 1 aesni_intel ablk_helper 12572 1 aesni_intel nvram 13092 1 thinkpad_acpi cryptd 14560 3 ghash_clmulni_intel,aesni_intel,ablk_helper snd_seq 45186 1 lrw 12871 1 aesni_intel snd_seq_device 13176 1 snd_seq snd_timer 22773 3 snd_hrtimer,snd_pcm,snd_seq gf128mul 13047 1 lrw i915 494628 2 glue_helper 12768 1 aesni_intel snd 53068 11 snd_hwdep,snd_timer,snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_codec_conexant,snd_pcm,snd_seq,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel,thinkpad_acpi,snd_seq_device psmouse 74832 0 iwlwifi 73295 1 iwldvm serio_raw 12940 0 pcspkr 12632 0 drm_kms_helper 31837 1 i915 soundcore 13026 1 snd evdev 17611 22 microcode 30413 0 drm 211856 3 i915,drm_kms_helper cfg80211 319971 3 iwlwifi,mac80211,iwldvm i2c_algo_bit 12841 1 i915 battery 13101 0 i2c_i801 17045 0 ac 12668 0 rfkill 19242 5 cfg80211,thinkpad_acpi,bluetooth lpc_ich 16757 0 mei_me 13568 0 i2c_core 24353 6 drm,i915,i2c_i801,drm_kms_helper,i2c_algo_bit,videodev mfd_core 12601 1 lpc_ich mei 45886 1 mei_me wmi 13243 0 mperf 12453 0 video 17792 1 i915 processor 28526 0 button 12944 1 i915 ext4 381419 1 crc16 12343 2 ext4,bluetooth jbd2 76205 1 ext4 mbcache 13082 1 ext4 nbd 16897 0 dm_mirror 17748 0 dm_region_hash 13589 1 dm_mirror dm_log 13590 2 dm_region_hash,dm_mirror dm_mod 64008 2 dm_log,dm_mirror sg 26095 0 sd_mod 40541 2 crc_t10dif 12348 1 sd_mod mmc_block 26824 0 ahci 25148 1 libahci 23136 1 ahci thermal 17468 0 thermal_sys 23137 3 video,thermal,processor sdhci_pci 17935 0 sdhci 27279 1 sdhci_pci ehci_pci 12472 0 xhci_hcd 78280 0 ehci_hcd 40590 1 ehci_pci mmc_core 77762 3 mmc_block,sdhci,sdhci_pci e1000e 139582 0 ptp 13364 1 e1000e pps_core 13232 1 ptp usbcore 134993 11 btusb,uvcvideo,ehci_hcd,ehci_pci,usbhid,usbnet,cdc_mbim,cdc_acm,cdc_ncm,cdc_wdm,xhci_hcd usb_common 12440 1 usbcore libata 141969 2 ahci,libahci scsi_mod 158249 3 sg,libata,sd_mod -- /etc/initramfs-tools/modules -- /etc/kernel-img.conf #

The bug concerning lsinitramfs is marked and shall be worked on, above is no bug of the initramfs which boots and decompresses just fine. Best, -- maks
