Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.51
Severity: important
If I configure a kernel image, using mkinitramfs for the initrd, and
/boot runs full, the kernel is still configured:
cirrus:~# dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-2.6.15-1-k7
Running depmod.
Finding valid ramdisk creators.
Using mkinitramfs to build the ramdisk.
gzip: stdout: No space left on device
Running postinst hook /sbin/update-grub.
Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub .
Examining /etc/kernel/postinst.d.
cirrus:~# dpkg -l linux-image-2.6.15-1-k7 | grep \^ii
ii linux-image-2.6.15-1-k7 2.6.15-3 Linux kernel 2.6.15 image on AMD K7 machines
This results in a kernel panic on next boot ("ran out of compressed
data"). mkinitrd used to handle this situation correctly, leaving
the kernel image package in an unconfigured state.
