Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.60
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
If pvmove was ran on the system and did not complete (eg due to a crash, power
failure, etc), LVM2 requires the "mirror" dm target to activate the VG
By default the initrd only contains dm-mod and dm-snapshot kernel modules.
Thus making a system with root on LVM unbootable under the above condition.
This problem should whould probably be fixed by adding dm-mirror module to the
default initrd configuration, and making the scripts load it before
initializing LVM.

Description:
initramfs-tools - tools for generating an initramfs
Closes: 364301 369617 374378 374891
Changes:
initramfs-tools (0.65) unstable; urgency=low
.
* scripts/local-top/lvm: Activate root and resume volume group.
The initialization got refractored in an function. (closes: #374891)
Thanks for the patch to David Härdeman <david@2gen.com>.
.
* scripts/local-top/lvm: Be careful to activate volume group on lilo boot
too. Although in that case we don't know the precise volume group, we
activate them all. Matches behaviour of previous hook.
.
* hooks/lvm: Add dm-mirror, allows to boot from an unfinished pvmove.
(closes: #374378)
.
* mkinitramfs: Remove old kernel-package supported long param.
kernel-package uses since 10.036 mkinitramfs-kpkg.
.
* update-initramfs: Show by default which initramfs gets generated.
(closes: #364301)
.
* Resync with 0.40ubuntu32:
- Make prereqs conditional on the script/hook actually existing. From
now on, this means that 'PREREQ="udev"' means "run udev first, iff it
happens to be installed". Having the files exist on the filesystem if
you have a HARD dependency should be enforced with package dependencies.
(closes: #369617)
- Make "update-initramfs -u" try to find the running kernel *after* it
attempts to search the symbolic link list and its own sha1 list.
Using this as a fallback, rather than the default, should solve most
upgrade issues, where people found their initramfs was half-baked.
- Abstract out the kernel minversion checking stuff into the function
library, so we can reuse it to check minversion requirements for hook
scripts as well (such as udev, which requires >= 2.6.15 in dapper)
- Bump the kernel minversion to 2.6.15 on hppa and ia64, since they used
initrd-tools with their 2.6.12 kernels in breezy, not initramfs-tools.
- If mkinitramfs fails due to minversion not being met, don't bail out
of update-initramfs, but just exit 0, so upgrades don't halt on it.
.
* debian/initramfs-tools.postrm: We no longer need to explicitly remove
/etc/initramfs-tools/modules.
