Package: kernel-package
Version: 8.092
Architecture: amd64
Kernel: 2.6.8-rc2
Since kernel-package version 8.092 the created initrd doesn't
work for me.
The kernel debs were built using
make-kpkg clean
make-kpkg --revision 6 --initrd kernel_image modules
At boot time I got an error message
pivot_root: No such file or directory
/sbin/init: 424: cannot open dev/console: no such file
After going back to version 8.091 the problem was gone.
I did a diff between the created initrds. It complained
about some entries in dev as expected. The only diff outside
of dev was this:
diff -ur /tmp/initrd.old/loadmodules /tmp/initrd.new/loadmodules
--- /tmp/initrd.old/loadmodules 1970-01-01 01:00:00.000000000 +0100
+++ /tmp/initrd.new/loadmodules 1970-01-01 01:00:00.000000000 +0100
@@ -1,5 +1,4 @@
modprobe -k unix 2> /dev/null
-modprobe -k sata_sil
modprobe -k sg
modprobe -k usb-storage
modprobe -k sd_mod
'old' means version 8.091, 'new' is 8.092. sata_sil is the
module needed to access the root disk.
