Bug#612303: [os-prober] false-positive initramdisk found

[Oliver Groß <z.o.gross@gmx.de>]

Package: os-prober
Version: 1.42
Severity: important

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

Hello,

when running os-prober (more specifically the script: 90fallback), it finds a 
non-existant initrd.

In /usr/lib/linux-boot-probes/mounted/90fallback:

If there is no initrd the variable initrdname is set to $kernfile and this will 
be reported as initrd.

This could be fixed in setting initrdname like this:
initrdname=$(echo "$kernfile" | sed "s/vmlinu[zx]/initrd\*/;t quit;s/.*//;:quit 
q")

If sed did no substitution an empty string is returned.

Best regards,
Oliver Groß
