Bug#1027749: update-initramfs could diagnose attempt to run with /dev not mounted

2023-01-02 Thread Peter Maydell
Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.140 Severity: wishlist When the config files specify MODULES=dep, update-initramfs tries to autodetect which modules to load. To do this, all of /proc/, /sys/, and /dev/ must be mounted. If either /proc/ or /sys/ isn't mounted, update-initramfs fails with an

Bug#815409: mips qemu-img segfault is due to stack not being executable

2016-06-14 Thread Peter Maydell
