Bug#499231: updated initramfs-tools now kernel oops during boot sequence



Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.92k
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system

PowerPC (G4 Macintosh) running sid.
Ran nightly dist-upgrade which updated initramfs-tools.
Now the system crashes with a kernel oops.

I restored the old initrd.img...bak and it now boots OK.

curiously, after gunzip-ing and un-cpio-ing the two initrd.img files,
the only difference is:

greybox:/tmp# diff -r initrd initrd.BAD/
diff -r initrd/conf/initramfs.conf initrd.BAD/conf/initramfs.conf
7,8d6
< # In particular, Debian installer may set MODULES in the file
< # /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/driver-policy.
greybox:/tmp# 

/var/log/syslog.0 attached (contains the kernel Oops and surrounding stuff)
