initramfs-tools (0.122ubuntu8.17) xenial; urgency=medium
* scripts/functions: Prevent printf error carry over if the wrong
console is set. (LP: #1879987)
The function _log_msg() is "void" typed, returning whatever its
last command returns. This function is the basic building block
for all error/warning messages in initramfs-tools. If a bad console
is provided to kernel on command-line, printf returns error, and so
this error is carried over in _log_msg(). Happens that checkfs()
function has a loop that runs forever in this scenario (*if* fsck
is not present in initramfs and "quiet" is not passed in the
command-line). If that happens, boot is stuck and cannot progress.
The simple fix hereby merged is to return zero on _log_msg().
