Taking the easy question first ;-) output of dpkg -l busybox gives:ii busybox 1:1.10.2-2 Tiny utilities for small and embedded system
Seems like splashy is out of the system anyway - output of dpkg -l splashy gives:
un splashy <none> (no description available)As for trying to load "unix" I can't answer that because it does not appear in the /etc/initramfs-tools/modules file at present. I may have loaded "unix" when loading modules manually - thinking it might be needed.
It is certainly a result of the local initramfs build environment that has caused the problem. I have created a fresh install of Debian 5.04 using the same boot partition; the initrd.img-2.6.26-2-686 that it produces boots my system with no problems.
I would be quite happy for you to close this bug now. We know it was something to do with my environment and no others, and I intend to reinstall with 5.04 soon.
I really appreciate the effort that has been made to solve this problem but I am sure there are more pressing matters.
Many thanks, Bruce maximilian attems wrote:

Brucedidn't see any trouble relevant modules are inside. only thing that I remakred was splashy, could you please purge that to have it out of the game? and then update-initramfs of course.. ;) why do you attempt to load "unix" in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules it is built in since very long. although this shouldn't change the trouble..don't get the " /bin/sleep: not found" it is clearly in the initramfs. might be due a busybox bug,which version of busybox are you running dpkg -l busybox thanks
