No, there isn't anyway to obtain an oops from the initramfs. However, I have obtained an oops myself.
The bug is caused by Unionfs calling lookup_one_len() on an NFS mounted filesystem, see http://www.fsl.cs.sunysb.edu/pipermail/unionfs/2006-August/004773.html The fix is to ensure that Unionfs correctly passes intents to the underlying NFS filesystem. This is currently done with a new lookup_one_len_nd() call which passes the necessary nameidata argument. The upshot of this is that the bug is fixed, but only in Unionfs 2.0. We will have to evaluate whether to incorporate Unionfs 2.0 into the current Feisty kernel. -- run-init crashes when root is unionfs on nfs https://launchpad.net/bugs/85145 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
