Bug#540296: ext4 related problems

[Christoph Anton Mitterer <christoph.anton.mitterer@physik.uni-muenchen.de>]

Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.93.4
Severity: important

Hi.

Not sure if the following are really bugs or if I'm just to stupid ;)

1) Initramfs does not include ext4 module:
a) I have a system whose root-fs is on ext3
b) Copied (cp -a) the whole filesystem to another parition with ext4.
b) mounted the ext4 to /mnt, and bind-mounted /dev /proc /sys to their  
conterparts in /mnt/
c) chrooted to /mnt/
d) Now I invoke update-initramfs -u

=> Only ext3 is added to the initramfs within the chroot.
When I do a mount, the chroot only shows the mtab-data (and there is  
of course no ext4 mount in it) /proc/mounts show it however.



2) Even when manually addting ext4 via /etc/initramfs-tools/modules it  
does not boot:
The initrd still tries to mount it as ext3 (which of course leads to  
an error).
fstab is correctly set to ext4


Any ideas?

Chris :)
