Has there been any progress towards getting this resolved? Unless I'm missing something, it sounds like a fairly large blocker to using Debian on ia64.

I replaced busybox with /bin/busybox in the initrd.img as suggested by Ãmeric and it fixed this bug on my Powerdege 7250. # uname -a Linux debian 3.2.0-2-itanium #1 SMP Sun Apr 15 17:53:42 UTC 2012 ia64 GNU/Linux -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
