If initramfs-tools does not work with whatever version of udev lower than 0.087-2 then is it not a bug in initramfs-tools to have too relaxed package dependencies? > > Try adding the following to /etc/kernel-img.conf: > > jonas what are you talking about? > /dev/input has nothing todo with the initramfs generator used. > but depends on the right input modules to be loaded. Indeed. And do ramdisk generators not take care (either by themselves or by including a helper tool like udev within the ramdisk) to load those input modules? What I was trying to do - since it was not obvious from the bugreport itself - was to check if the bug happened with one ramdisk generator and not the other, and if so reassign this bugreport from linux-2.6 to that ramdisk generator, as it would then not be a kernel bug. why does it not make sense to you? It woould probably make sense for linux-2.6 to have reportbug include the contents of /etc/kernel-img.conf in the future. - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist og Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ - Enden er nær: http://www.shibumi.org/eoti.htm
