Bug#328167: initrd-tools: completely broken with regard to LVM devices on EVMS

["Steinar H. Gunderson" <sgunderson@bigfoot.com>]

Package: initrd-tools
Version: 0.1.82
Severity: important

When running mkinitrd, I get:

  sesse@pannekake:~$ sudo mkinitrd -o /boot/initrd.img-2.6.12-1-amd64-k8-smp 2.6.12-1-amd64-k8-smp
  File descriptor 3 left open
  File descriptor 4 left open
  File descriptor 5 left open
  File descriptor 6 left open
  File descriptor 7 left open
  Finding all volume groups
  Finding volume group "pannekake"
  /usr/sbin/mkinitrd: /dev/evms/lvm2/pannekake/root: Cannot find LVM device

Obviously, /dev/evms/lvm2/pannekake/root is managed by EVMS here, so it
should not just see that /sbin/lvmiopversion exists and thus try to use
the LVM userspace.

Anyhow, I removed lvm-common as I don't need it, but still I get

  Unknown DM device 254:2

since it looks for /etc/mkinitrd/scripts/evms, which to the best of my
knowledge is not in the evms packages anymore (evms has a probe.d script
instead). Removing the "exit 1" appears to give a valid initrd.
