The patch in 2.6.24.4 and the soon to be 2.6.25 fixes this problem but
only if you build with CONFIG_X86_GENERIC set.
The current Debian build for the 686 kernel does not set this and the
long NOPs will still be there.

You can't use break=??? if you use panic=0. This is because the
maybe_break function calls the panic function to get a shell. It should
be simple to fix by just setting panic=1 inside maybe_break() before
calling panic().

The bug is in this section:
if [ ${NFSROOT#:*} = $NFSROOT ]; then
NFSROOT=${ROOTSERVER}:${NFSROOT}

The :* is the wrong way around so if $NFSROOT=192.168.0.4:/ the :*
pattern won't match (NFSROOT doesn't start with :) and so NFSROOT gets

I'm still getting the timeouts on root mount refered to in bug 359926.
With this version of initramfs-tools the retry fails without really
retrying and it enters a loop. After 180s it times out and drops to a
panic shell. IP is configured

After a usplash timeout (e.g. fsck) I'm left looking at vt8 which
doesn't have much on it and I need to alt-F1 to get to the real console
messages. Does usplash need to switch to vt8? If so can it switch back
on timeout.

In the function log_end_msg, line 104 has 'printf \r' which is used to
keep the ok/fail message on the same line as the log_begin+msg text.
This confuses the output of bootlogd since it uses its own primitive line
buffer. Replacing the \r with \b

The new mountroot() in scripts/nfs works nicely in that it does retry if
the first mount fails but it always says Retrying even though it
should say Trying the first time. Very minor bug though.

The new method of creating /dev/null is causing usplash to not work. At
the top of the init script /dev/null is created if it doesn't exist and
then a tmpfs is mounted on top of /dev. This hides the /dev/null and
/dev/console so any

The top part of init has this:
mkdir /sys
mkdir /proc
mkdir /tmp
mkdir -p /var/lock
These can all be put in the initramfs image can't they? Also (not a
bug), I can't figure out how /root gets created, it's not in the image
and there's no
You can consider this bug work-arounded if you use the panic=0 boot
parameter. Getting a timeout would then reboot the machine thus giving a
retry (although a bit slower).
