Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.120+deb8u2
Severity: normal

Hi,

I am trying to configure kdump-tools on a Debian jessie live system
(which runs entirely on tmpfs mount points using a custom made initrd).
kdump-tools uses initramfs-tools to generate an initramfs for the crash
kernel. On package installation, it runs:

  root@host:~$ /etc/kernel/postinst.d/kdump-tools $(uname -r)
  kdump-tools: Generating /var/lib/kdump/initrd.img-4.4.36-2
  mkinitramfs: failed to determine device for /
  mkinitramfs: workaround is MODULES=most, check:
  grep -r MODULES /etc/initramfs-tools/

  Error please report bug on initramfs-tools
  Include the output of 'mount' and 'cat /proc/mounts'
  update-initramfs: failed for  with 1.

Since kdump-tools specifies a config directory, the suggested grep
command is incorrect (patch to fix that is attached).

  root@host:~$ grep -r MODULES /var/lib/kdump/initramfs-tools/
  /var/lib/kdump/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf:# MODULES: [ most | netboot | dep | list ]
  /var/lib/kdump/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf:MODULES=dep

The recommended workaround (set MODULES=most) does not work either:

  root@host:~$ sudo sed -i "s/MODULES=dep/MODULES=most/" /var/lib/kdump/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf
  root@host:~$ grep -r MODULES /var/lib/kdump/initramfs-tools/
  /var/lib/kdump/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf:# MODULES: [ most | netboot | dep | list ]
  /var/lib/kdump/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf:MODULES=most
  root@host:~$ sudo /etc/kernel/postinst.d/kdump-tools $(uname -r)
  kdump-tools: Generating /var/lib/kdump/initrd.img-4.4.36-2
  mkinitramfs: failed to determine device for /
  mkinitramfs: workaround is MODULES=most, check:
  grep -r MODULES /etc/initramfs-tools/

  Error please report bug on initramfs-tools
  Include the output of 'mount' and 'cat /proc/mounts'
  update-initramfs: failed for  with 1.

Here is the requeted output of mount (/proc/mounts says the same):

  root@host:~$ mount

Subject: [PATCH] Fix config directory in error message

/etc/kernel/postinst.d/kdump-tools calls mkinitramfs with -d
/var/lib/kdump/initramfs-tools. This call might fail, but the
recommended grep command points to the wrong directory:

  $ sudo /etc/kernel/postinst.d/kdump-tools $(uname -r)
  kdump-tools: Generating /var/lib/kdump/initrd.img-4.4.36-2
  mkinitramfs: failed to determine device for /
  mkinitramfs: workaround is MODULES=most, check:
  grep -r MODULES /etc/initramfs-tools/

  Error please report bug on initramfs-tools
  Include the output of 'mount' and 'cat /proc/mounts'
  update-initramfs: failed for  with 1.
