Bug#401916: PANIC: Circular dependency

[Hugo Vanwoerkom <nayabei@prodigy.net.mx>]

Hi,

I applied initramfs-tools-0.85e-rootwait4.patch to 0.85 on Sid. 
<http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi/initramfs-tools-0.85e-rootwait4.patch?bug=401916;msg=186;att=1>

I am having problems booting either with or from a USB disk and 
linux-image-2.6.18-4-486, it works about half the time.

After patching (no probs) and 'update-initramfs -u' and booting, I get 
'PANIC: Circular dependency. Exiting.' from the functions script #167.

The description of the bug and the patch sounded like it would solve my 
problem.

I don't have the problem with my own compiled 2.6.20-ck1 + yaird kernel. 
But Yaird is another story.

Regards,

Hugo Vanwoerkom
