Bug#375786: initramfs-tools: Volume group not activated with LILO
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.65b
Severity: important
Tags: patch
Hi.
It appears that the new volume group activation code doesn't work with LILO.
The culprit is that LILO's fe00 is substituted for /dev/root.
I have attached a patch that should fix this behaviour to be correct. I have
inspected 0.60 (from testing) and this patch appears to make us conform more
closely to how it worked there (where fe00 and /dev/root worked apparently).
Thanks,
Christian
