As bug #132120 suggests, I've verified that just replacing the busybox binary (both as /bin/busybox and /bin/sh on the initramfs) with an older, working version is sufficient to fix the problem.
Replacing the failing calls to mount with explicit calls to /bin/mount - thereby invoking the klibc version of mount, rather than the busybox version of mount - also fixes the problem (well as long as the -n flag to mount is also removed, since it is not recognized by the klibc version). Thus, it looks like there's definitely a bug in busybox - although I don't know if initramfs-tools was heading towards removing use of busybox in favour of the klibc binaries, which might make it moot. -- segfault when booting 2.6.22-9-generic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/131961 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
