Bug#773646: Backports : linux-image-3.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64 not booting dracut fallback

[Mario Kothe]

Package: linux-image-3.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64/wheezy-backports uptodate 
3.16.7-ckt2-1~bpo70+1
  Version: 3.16.7
 
  After installing the Backport Package the system cannot boot with the new kernel. The System hangs and falls back to dracut console. It mentions

  that the root filesystem UID cannot not be found. The system itself has a 
boot disk (vda3) and the root is on (vda1). I checked the grub.cfg the
  Filesystem uid's are correct.
  
  Reboot to the original kernel 3.2.0 works though.


  During the installation of the Backport Kernel dracut warns that it can not 
find consolefonts, ... (the rest I can't remember, sadly not logged)

  Looks to me that some depencies are not in the package which are necessary 
when initramfs is replaced with dracut.


  I am using Debian GNU/Linux 7, Linux 3.2.0-4-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 
3.2.63-2+deb7u2 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The install of initramfs-tools replaced the dracut, but in the 
repository the Version of the dracut ist as follows:


Package: dracut

 I tried it with the initramfs-tools. Still no change. Error messsage is
 the same:

 dracut Warning: Could not boot.
 dracut Warning: /dev/disk/by-uuid/ does not exist

 Droping to debug shell.

 And yes it is a dracut bug.


 Here the install messages from installing initramfs-tools
 [...]
 Setting up initramfs-tools (0.115~bpo70+1) ...
 update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)
 Processing triggers for initramfs-tools ...
 update-initramfs: /boot/initrd.img-3.2.0-4-amd64 has been altered.
 update-initramfs: Cannot update. Override with -t option.

 Oh, well you need to tell initramfs-tools to rebuild the initramfs too:

  update-initramfs -u -t -k 3.16.0-0.bpo.4-amd64.

 Ben.

Ok, totally forgot that part with the update-initramfs. It works now
with kernel.

Thank you for fast answers and replies.


Please reply to the bug address (773...@bugs.debian.org) and state which
version of dracut you are using.

Ben.
