There is an unfortunate interaction that occurs when a system is
running an em64t-p4 or amd64 kernel, but a standard 32-bit "testing"
user space. When configuring a kernel-image package the mkinitrd
fails with a cpio failure to read a file named "(0x00000000)".
The cause of this is that "ldd" has an extra entry: with a 32-bit
kernel you see this
# ldd /bin/cat
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x40028000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x40000000)
but with a 64-bit kernel you see this
# uname -a
Linux x 2.6.8-9-em64t-p4-smp #1 SMP Thu Oct 7 16:01:47 CEST 2004 x86_64 GNU/Linux
# ldd /bin/cat
linux-gate.so.1 => (0x00000000)
libc.so.6 => /lib/tls/libc.so.6 (0x5557d000)
/lib/ld-linux.so.2 => /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0x55555000)
When mkinitrd runs ldd on executables to find libraries to be included
them in the initrd, it does not skip the linux-gate line and instead
includes an entry for the strange filename, which fails.
This would be really easy to fix by hacking mkinitrd, either by
ignoring filenames that don't start with "/", or that do start with
"(", or by ignoring the linux-gate lines specially, or whatever.
Or (the "right" solution) ldd could be modified to take a flag telling
it to just print the filenames of all used libraries and mkinitrd
could call it that way, removing the need to parse ldd's output.
But as a cheesy workaround for myself, which might be of value to
others, I created a stub
# cat /usr/local/bin/ldd
#! /bin/sh
/usr/bin/ldd $* | egrep -v linux-gate\[.\]so\[.\]1
and then did
PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH dpkg --configure --pending
which worked fine.

These bugs were all closed in the most recent initrd-tools upload, but owing
to pilot error, were not marked as such. The original closure message was
as follows.

initrd-tools (0.1.79) unstable; urgency=3Dhigh
.
* Steve Langasek
- Don't be so hasty to use lvm10: only use it if lvmiopversion
says we're lvm10-only, *or* there's no dm-mod for the kernel;
this avoids breaking lvm2 volumes in 2.4 when the lvm10 package
is installed. Closes: #291386.
- Add myself to uploaders.
* GOTO Masanori
- Make mkinitrd work with new ldd format which change is introduced
in glibc 2.3.4. (Closes: #301455, #303281)
This change also fixes amd64 mkinitrd breakage.
(Closes: #279382, #292080, #295412, #295422, #297724)
* Maximilian Attems
- Resynchronise with Ubuntu:
* Error message should refer to mdadm, not raidtools2.
* Take /etc/mkinitrd/DSDT and put it in the initrd if it exists.
* Use mktemp, not $$ for creating temporary directories.
- Function module_exist recognizes modules in subdirs. Closes: #296894
- Fix upgrade path from woody for sparc arch. thanks to
Jurij Smakov <jurij@wooyd.org> Closes: #306219
- Use libdevmapper1.01 Closes: #266591, #298727, #303401
- Fix permissions of the initrd files. thanks to patch for debian/rules
from Horms <horms@debian.org> Closes: #285767
* Sven Luther
- Powerpc now defaults to MODULES=3Ddep. (Closes: #290329)
