Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.64 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
Hello, the changelog of version 0.65 of initramfs-tools says: * scripts/local-top/lvm: Be careful to activate volume group on lilo boot too. Although in that case we don't know the precise volume group, we activate them all. Matches behaviour of previous hook. This change seems to have introduced a bug in scripts/local-top/lvm on line 28 as it produces the following error message on boot: /scripts/local-top/lvm:28: sh: Syntax error: Bad substitution which causes the boot process to fail on my box as the root filesystem will never show up as it is on LVM, making the system unusable. The erroneous line looks is: vg_lilo=${vg:0:2} I'm not a good shell programmer, so I don't know whether this is a general syntax error, a bashism that won't run on busybox or something else.. I downgraded initramfs-tools to 0.64 and regenerated the initrd files to work this problem around for the moment.
