Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.92e Severity: critical --- Please enter the report below this line. --- NOTE: I am reporting this bug from my old kernel. The bug happened when I was running 2.6.26-1-amd64 and updated initramfs-tools and then rebooted. So I'm not sure how usefull is the system and modules information. After upgrading initramfs-tools from 0.89 to 0.92e. The output was: ================== Setting up initramfs-tools (0.92e) ... Installing new version of config file /etc/initramfs-tools/update-initramfs.conf ... update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.26-1-amd64 Warning: LBA32 addressing assumed Warning: /dev/sda1 is not on the first disk Added Linux * Added LinuxOLD 2 warnings were issued. ================== I reboot the system and surprise: grub was *overwritten* by lilo!!! I try to boot anyway... and another surprise: ================ ramdisk: couldn't find valid ram disk image starting at 0 list of all partitions: no filesystem could mount root, tried: kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root fs in unknown-block (8,1) ================ According to cat /proc/partitions (8,1) is sda1, which is my boot partition. (my MBR has another boot loader) Fortunately I had my old 2.6.21, otherwise I wouldn't be able to boot from my computer. I checked initramfs contents according to http://wiki.debian.org/InitramfsDebug I'm attaching the diff file. (hurray for initramfs making a backup of the initrd.img) How do I generate a valid initrd.img? Why was grub overwritten by lilo? Will running "grub-install (hd0,0)" fix the problem? Thank you for any help. --- System information. --- Architecture: amd64 Kernel: Linux 2.6.21-2-amd64 Debian Release: lenny/sid 990 testing www.debian-multimedia.org 990 testing security.debian.org 990 testing ftp.debian.org 990 testing ftp.de.debian.org 500 unstable www.debian-multimedia.org 500 unstable ftp.debian.org 500 unstable ftp.de.debian.org 500 unstable deb.opera.com 500 stable security.debian.org --- Package information. --- Depends (Version) | Installed ==================================-+-============= klibc-utils (>= 1.5.9-1) | 1.5.12-1 cpio | 2.7-3 module-init-tools | 3.3-pre11-4 udev (>= 0.086-1) | 0.105-4 findutils (>= 4.2.24) | 4.2.32-1 --- Output from package bug script --- -- /proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=LinuxOLD ro root=801 bootkbd=pt -- /proc/filesystems cramfs ext3 fuseblk -- lsmod Module Size Used by ipt_MASQUERADE 8192 1 iptable_nat 12292 1 nf_nat 25132 2 ipt_MASQUERADE,iptable_nat binfmt_misc 17164 1 cpufreq_ondemand 13200 2 cpufreq_userspace 9472 0 cpufreq_powersave 6272 0 acpi_cpufreq 13704 0 freq_table 9600 2 cpufreq_ondemand,acpi_cpufreq rfcomm 48424 4 l2cap 32640 9 rfcomm bluetooth 64004 4 rfcomm,l2cap ppdev 13704 0 parport_pc 41512 0 lp 17352 0 parport 44428 3 ppdev,parport_pc,lp button 13472 0 ac 10376 0 battery 15624 0 ipv6 295936 18 xt_limit 7552 1 xt_tcpudp 7936 9 nf_conntrack_ipv4 24592 6 iptable_nat xt_state 7040 4 nf_conntrack 73308 5 ipt_MASQUERADE,iptable_nat,nf_nat,nf_conntrack_ipv4,xt_state nfnetlink 11720 3 nf_nat,nf_conntrack_ipv4,nf_conntrack iptable_filter 7552 1 ip_tables 24296 2 iptable_nat,iptable_filter x_tables 24968 6 ipt_MASQUERADE,iptable_nat,xt_limit,xt_tcpudp,xt_state,ip_tables fuse 50480 1 dm_snapshot 21192 0 dm_mirror 25664 0 dm_mod 64656 2 dm_snapshot,dm_mirror sbp2 28292 0 loop 22032 2 snd_emu10k1_synth 11904 0 snd_emux_synth 39424 1 snd_emu10k1_synth snd_seq_virmidi 11904 1 snd_emux_synth snd_seq_midi_emul 10880 1 snd_emux_synth snd_emu10k1 141792 2 snd_emu10k1_synth snd_ac97_codec 116824 1 snd_emu10k1 ac97_bus 7040 1 snd_ac97_codec snd_util_mem 9600 2 snd_emux_synth,snd_emu10k1 snd_hwdep 14728 2 snd_emux_synth,snd_emu10k1 tsdev 12928 0 bt878 16232 0 snd_hda_intel 26784 2 snd_hda_codec 260608 1 snd_hda_intel snd_pcm_oss 48416 0 snd_mixer_oss 21376 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 89608 5 snd_emu10k1,snd_ac97_codec,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm_oss tuner 65960 0 snd_seq_dummy 8452 0 snd_seq_midi 13504 0 msp3400 34976 0 snd_seq_oss 36736 0 bttv 213492 1 bt878 video_buf 30980 1 bttv firmware_class 15232 2 snd_emu10k1,bttv snd_rawmidi 30624 3 snd_seq_virmidi,snd_emu10k1,snd_seq_midi emu10k1_gp 8576 0 gameport 21392 2 emu10k1_gp snd_seq_midi_event 12416 3 snd_seq_virmidi,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_oss ir_common 41476 1 bttv compat_ioctl32 13056 1 bttv i2c_algo_bit 12168 1 bttv snd_seq 58752 9 snd_emux_synth,snd_seq_virmidi,snd_seq_midi_emul,snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi_event snd_timer 28424 3 snd_emu10k1,snd_pcm,snd_seq snd_seq_device 12820 8 snd_emu10k1_synth,snd_emux_synth,snd_emu10k1,snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_oss,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq i2c_i801 13724 0 snd 65896 21 snd_emux_synth,snd_seq_virmidi,snd_emu10k1,snd_ac97_codec,snd_hwdep,snd_hda_intel,snd_hda_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_seq_oss,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device btcx_risc 9352 1 bttv tveeprom 21264 1 bttv videodev 32000 1 bttv v4l2_common 23424 5 tuner,msp3400,bttv,compat_ioctl32,videodev i2c_core 28288 6 tuner,msp3400,bttv,i2c_algo_bit,i2c_i801,tveeprom sky2 49928 0 serio_raw 11908 0 psmouse 44176 0 v4l1_compat 16260 2 bttv,videodev pcspkr 7680 0 iTCO_wdt 15824 0 soundcore 13088 1 snd snd_page_alloc 14608 3 snd_emu10k1,snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm intel_agp 31168 1 evdev 15232 3 eth1394 24584 0 ext3 136976 4 jbd 67952 1 ext3 mbcache 13832 1 ext3 ide_generic 5632 0 [permanent] ide_disk 20736 1 sg 41000 0 sr_mod 22180 0 cdrom 39976 1 sr_mod sd_mod 25984 5 jmicron 9088 0 [permanent] usbhid 30112 0 hid 29696 1 usbhid generic 10372 0 [permanent] ide_core 150400 4 ide_generic,ide_disk,jmicron,generic floppy 67240 0 ohci1394 38984 0 skge 46352 0 ieee1394 106744 3 sbp2,eth1394,ohci1394 ata_piix 20100 5 ahci 27396 0 ata_generic 13828 0 libata 124960 3 ata_piix,ahci,ata_generic scsi_mod 161208 5 sbp2,sg,sr_mod,sd_mod,libata ehci_hcd 37900 0 uhci_hcd 29600 0 thermal 20368 0 processor 39784 2 acpi_cpufreq,thermal fan 9992 0 -- /etc/kernel-img.conf # Kernel image management overrides # See kernel-img.conf(5) for details do_symlinks = yes relative_links = yes do_bootloader = yes do_bootfloppy = no do_initrd = yes link_in_boot = no -- /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf MODULES=most BUSYBOX=y KEYMAP=n BOOT=local DEVICE=eth0 NFSROOT=auto
