Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.92
Severity: important
Hi! When I update from 0.91e to 0.92, the newly created initrd makes my
slug unbootable. While trying to boot, the initrd hangs waiting for root
file system. Reinstalling the previous 0.91e with everything else
unchanged and re-creating the initrd repairs the system.
Please let me know what I can do to help find this bug. I attached some
useful information P.S. Thank you in advance for looking at this!
Best regards
Kevin Price
In the unbootable state, The serial console says this:
