What do you think? yes sounds like a configuration error, could you try out with the .config from our trunk 2.6.30-rc4 builds? see trunk apt lines http://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernel -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Bug#526102: initramfs-tools: initramfs creates an initrd with not enough modules causing an unbootable system
Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.93.2 Severity: grave Justification: renders package unusable initramfs-tools: initramfs creates an initrd with not enough modules causing an unbootable system Initially I thought this was a bug in kernel-package so I wrote this to the maintainer of that package: I now upgraded initramfstools (shouldn't kernel-package have dependencies?) and an initrd is created. The initrd is not good though: the system won't come up. Complains that it can't find the volume groups. It does see a /dev/sda* though. Was an initramfs shell so I couldn't investigate what was going on. According to the kernel-package maintainer this is a problem in initramfs-tools. -- Package-specific info: -- /proc/cmdline root=/dev/mapper/VG01-LVROOT ro -- /proc/filesystems ext3 -- lsmod Module Size Used by netconsole 11408 0 configfs 27816 2 netconsole binfmt_misc11788 1 ib_iser32680 0 rdma_cm29796 1 ib_iser ib_cm 36056 1 rdma_cm iw_cm 11720 1 rdma_cm ib_sa 23152 2 rdma_cm,ib_cm ib_mad 38248 2 ib_cm,ib_sa ib_core57728 6 ib_iser,rdma_cm,ib_cm,iw_cm,ib_sa,ib_mad ib_addr 9096 1 rdma_cm iscsi_tcp 20228 0 libiscsi 30976 2 ib_iser,iscsi_tcp scsi_transport_iscsi33888 4 ib_iser,iscsi_tcp,libiscsi ipt_MASQUERADE 5440 1 iptable_nat 7888 1 nf_nat 21592 2 ipt_MASQUERADE,iptable_nat nf_conntrack_ipv4 17560 4 iptable_nat,nf_nat xt_state4736 1 nf_conntrack 70224 5 ipt_MASQUERADE,iptable_nat,nf_nat,nf_conntrack_ipv4,xt_state ipt_REJECT 5568 2 xt_tcpudp 5696 4 iptable_filter 5504 1 ip_tables 19600 2 iptable_nat,iptable_filter x_tables 23816 6 ipt_MASQUERADE,iptable_nat,xt_state,ipt_REJECT,xt_tcpudp,ip_tables bridge 52392 0 kvm_intel 38032 0 kvm 129256 1 kvm_intel crc32c 4480 0 libcrc32c 5184 1 crc32c battery10048 0 ppdev 9736 0 lp 12644 0 tun12484 1 acpi_cpufreq9872 0 cpufreq_stats 7120 0 cpufreq_userspace 6532 0 cpufreq_powersave 4480 0 cpufreq_conservative 9800 0 cpufreq_ondemand9872 4 freq_table 7424 3 acpi_cpufreq,cpufreq_stats,cpufreq_ondemand microcode 13096 0 firmware_class 10688 1 microcode nfsd 246376 10 auth_rpcgss46992 1 nfsd exportfs6912 1 nfsd nfs 254112 0 lockd 67232 2 nfsd,nfs nfs_acl 5568 2 nfsd,nfs sunrpc198952 14 nfsd,auth_rpcgss,nfs,lockd,nfs_acl ipv6 290104 41 iscsi_trgt 69260 4 coretemp9024 0 it87 25560 0 hwmon_vid 5312 1 it87 eeprom 8720 0 ns8382020680 0 loop 17804 0 snd_usb_audio 89888 0 snd_usb_lib18688 1 snd_usb_audio snd_seq_midi9280 0 snd_rawmidi25184 2 snd_usb_lib,snd_seq_midi dvb_pll11528 1 snd_hda_intel 427020 1 cx22702 8580 1 snd_hwdep 10248 1 snd_usb_audio snd_pcm_oss39456 1 snd_pcm80840 3 snd_usb_audio,snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm_oss snd_mixer_oss 17024 1 snd_pcm_oss cx88_dvb 19972 0 cx88_vp3054_i2c 5376 1 cx88_dvb snd_seq_dummy 5508 0 videobuf_dvb7748 1 cx88_dvb dvb_core 82148 2 cx88_dvb,videobuf_dvb snd_seq_oss31872 0 snd_seq_midi_event 10048 2 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_oss snd_seq53616 6 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event snd_timer 24336 2 snd_pcm,snd_seq snd_seq_device 9940 5 snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq cx8800 35844 0 v4l2_common14528 1 cx8800 psmouse40988 0 snd62840 11 snd_usb_audio,snd_rawmidi,snd_hda_intel,snd_hwdep,snd_pcm_oss,snd_pcm,snd_mixer_oss,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device serio_raw 8132 0 pwc84576 0 iTCO_wdt 13712 0 cx8802 18500 1 cx88_dvb cx88xx 71848 3 cx88_dvb,cx8800,cx8802 joydev 13120 0 compat_ioctl32 10688 2 cx8800,pwc parport_serial 9408 0 ir_common 45252 1 cx88xx videodev 34496 4 cx8800,pwc,cx88xx,compat_ioctl32 plusb 4800 0 usbnet
