Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.92e
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
If the panic() function is invoked it should print a message
but it does not because stdout is not connected to the
console.
The fix is easy: just add a /dev/console to the echo command.
I attach a patch, but it's probably easier to fix by hand.
Consider changing echo $@ /dev/console to echo $@ /dev/console
(I don't know if it's a good idea, but it looks better; if you don't
want to protect $@ for whatever reason, $* would be philosophically
better).
Thanks,
Loïc Grenié
