Yes, this fix https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/initramfs-tools/merge_requests/23/diffs indeed at least silenced (maybe fixed) those wornings after update-initramfs -u Hope you will pull that in initramfs-tools-core as shown by dpkg -S ./mkinitramfs And *I hope* it will happen faster than with this obnoxious bug: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=931930

Initramfs now build (and run) correctly. IMHO this is probably an unrelated bug in the same kmod upgrade. You should report it as such, which the full log output and a subject decribing the issue instead of the bogus error message. The logspam caused by the lookup_builtin_file() bug makes it hard to spot real errors, but hopefully there is some clue to your problem there too. Bjørn

Hello, This bug resulted in complete system breakage and I couldn't boot anymore (systemd failing to load Kernel modules). I can guarantee that this isn't only cosmetic. I believe this isn't related to initramfs-tools, because downgrading kmod and libkmod2 from version 26+20191223-1 to version 26-3 fixes the issue. Initramfs now build (and run) correctly.

These error messages also appear in the 'make modules_install' step when building a standard Linux kernel. Regards, Jörg.

Printing spurious error messages is a bug, and we will fix it (whether in kmod or in initramfs-tools, is to be decided). But since (so far as I know) there hasn't been any regression in the functioning of the resulting initramfs, the bug doesn't need to be fixed right this instant.

so, what's to be done now? Marco d'Itri says that this error is pointless, Bjørn says that this is normal and this behaviour is expected sometimes (kmod looking for nonexistent stuff) is it just a harmless error "spam"? update the system as usual and just ignore the error "waterfall" in the console? use the patch (the edited line in /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs) and then update?

same error repeating again and again during both plain upgrade and dist-upgrade on sid, so much that it clears all the previous scrollback in the terminal (just one line would be fine) i found this suggestion that says to edit a line in "/usr/sbin/mkinitramfs" file, like this: https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/initramfs-tools/merge_requests/23/diffs the above edit does the job of getting rid of the console error spam. someone has to incorporate this edit in an "initramfs-tools-core" update. the file that needs the above edit belongs to "initramfs-tools-core". it's neither "kmod" nor "initramfs-tools" (maybe updating kmod triggers the bug, but the bug itself is in "initramfs-tools-core") this is the list of files of "initramfs-tools-core", and you will see the affected file is in there (this serial redirect is because it's from another remote system) : root@sid:~# cat //var/lib/dpkg/info/initramfs-tools-core.list >//dev/ttyS0 /. /etc /etc/initramfs-tools /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-bottom /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-bottom /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-premount /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/nfs-bottom /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/nfs-premount /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/nfs-top /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/panic /usr /usr/bin /usr/bin/lsinitramfs /usr/bin/unmkinitramfs /usr/sbin /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs <<== this is the affected file that needs the edit to keep up with the updated kmod /usr/share /usr/share/doc /usr/share/doc/initramfs-tools-core /usr/share/doc/initramfs-tools-core/NEWS.Debian.gz /usr/share/doc/initramfs-tools-core/changelog.gz /usr/share/doc/initramfs-tools-core/copyright /usr/share/doc/initramfs-tools-core/examples /usr/share/doc/initramfs-tools-core/examples/example_hook /usr/share/doc/initramfs-tools-core/examples/example_script /usr/share/doc/initramfs-tools-core/examples/framebuffer /usr/share/doc/initramfs-tools-core/examples/modules /usr/share/initramfs-tools /usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf-hooks.d /usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf.d /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/fsck /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/keymap /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/resume /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/thermal /usr/share/initramfs-tools/init /usr/share/initramfs-tools/modules /usr/share/initramfs-tools/modules.d /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/functions /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/all_generic_ide /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/blacklist /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/keymap /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-premount /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-premount/resume /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/nfs /usr/share/lintian /usr/share/lintian/overrides /usr/share/lintian/overrides/initramfs-tools-core /usr/share/man /usr/share/man/man5 /usr/share/man/man5/initramfs.conf.5.gz /usr/share/man/man7 /usr/share/man/man7/initramfs-tools.7.gz /usr/share/man/man8 /usr/share/man/man8/lsinitramfs.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/mkinitramfs.8.gz /usr/share/man/man8/unmkinitramfs.8.gz /var /var/lib /var/lib/initramfs-tools
