Bug#676486: mkinitramfs: Error: missing parameters. See -h.

[Jakub Wilk <jwilk@debian.org>]

Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.105

If I run update-initramfs, it prints an error message about "missing 
parameters":

# update-initramfs -u -k 3.3.0-trunk-amd64
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.3.0-trunk-amd64
Error: missing parameters. See -h.


To debug this, I added "set -x" to mkinitramfs:

+ hidden_dep_add_modules
+ local modules=
+ set -- lib/libcrc32c crc32c
+ [ -f /var/tmp/mkinitramfs_Qadg11/lib/modules/3.3.0-trunk-amd64/kernel/lib/libcrc32c.ko ]
+ set -- fs/ubifs/ubifs deflate zlib lzo
+ [ -f /var/tmp/mkinitramfs_Qadg11/lib/modules/3.3.0-trunk-amd64/kernel/fs/ubifs/ubifs.ko ]
+ manual_add_modules
+ local prefix kmod options firmware
+ modprobe --all --set-version=3.3.0-trunk-amd64 --ignore-install --quiet --show-depends
+ read prefix kmod options
Error: missing parameters. See -h.


[ Of course the error comes from modprobe, not read. ]
