- Subject: initramfs-tools: Produces broken (unbootable) initrd
- From: George-Cristian Bîrzan <gcbirzan@constanta.rdsnet.ro>

Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.85c
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Not much more to say. Any kernel image I build an initrd for now breaks in
the same way. Since I'm lazy and didn't feel like transcripting everything
it outputs, I took pictures of the screen when it broke:
http://hephaestus.constanta.rdsnet.ro/~gcbirzan/initramfs/
What's funny is this (this is a broken initrd):
gcbirzan@meili:~/initramfs$ gunzip -dc < /boot/initrd.img-2.6.18-3-686 |
cpio -i
22694 blocks
gcbirzan@meili:~/initramfs$ bin/fstype < /dev/sda5
FSTYPE=reiserfs
FSSIZE=71206174720
gcbirzan@meili:~/initramfs$ find -name fstype
./bin/fstype
gcbirzan@meili:~/initramfs$ strings bin/fstype | grep Usage
Usage: %s [file]
I can't get it to spit that out, though. :-)
I'm rather stumped at the moment, as initramfs just kind of worked till now,
not sure how to debug it...
