Bug#445688: Bug cause identified

2007-10-08 Thread Beojan Stanislaus
By combining the error messages I get and looking at the initramdisk runs,
I have found the problem is that the scripts call modpobe -Qb, with a capital 
q instead of a small q. Modprobe doesn't recognise this, so doesn't load the 
modules.

Bug#445688: initramfs-tools: creates broken initramfs image

2007-10-07 Thread Beojan Stanislaus
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.90a
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

The initramfs image generated by update-initramfs
stalls at a waiting for root filesystem... message.
After roughly 5 minutes, it drops to a shell saying the
filesystem doesn't exist. Other initramfs images(yaird)
work with same kernel, same bug on all kernals. 
This is critical because this command is used to generate
the original initramfs when the kernel is installed.
