Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.93.2
Severity: grave
Justification: renders package unusable
initramfs-tools: initramfs creates an initrd with not enough modules causing an unbootable system
Initially I thought this was a bug in kernel-package so I wrote this to the maintainer of that package:
I now upgraded initramfstools (shouldn't
kernel-package have dependencies?) and an initrd is created.
The initrd is not good though: the system won't come up. Complains that
it can't find the volume groups. It does see a /dev/sda* though. Was an
initramfs shell so I couldn't investigate what was going on.
According to the kernel-package maintainer this is a problem in initramfs-tools.
