Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.109.1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 3.5

Dear Maintainer,

I ran dist-upgrade from squeeze to wheezy.  During the upgrade, I was warned
that I was missing firmware-realtek, which was now in non-free.  I installed
that package, and updated the 3.2 initrd image.  Upon reboot, the 3.2 kernel
panic'd, unable to find /init.  I was able to reboot into the 2.6.32 kernel.

I could tell that the usb-storage and other filesystem-related modules were
not being loaded, so I assumed they were not present in the initramfs.  I
added several of them to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and rebuilt *both*
initrd images.  Rebuilding the one for 2.6.32 should have been a no-op.  And
backup_initramfs=no by default on my system.

Now I was unable to boot *either* initrd image.  I was able to pull an old initrd
image from another machine to get it to boot.  Then I extracted both this working
image and the one I just created to see what was different.  I noticed that the
new one did not have a /bin/sh file (or symlink).  Both had /init though.

I simply installed busybox with apt-get.  There were no additional packages
required during that install.  I rebuilt the initrd images with my
/etc/initramfs-tools/modules overrides removed.  Now both /bin/sh and
/bin/busybox were created.

Both kernel versions now boot successfully.

Note: I'm not sure why the 3.2 initrd images do not appear in the list below.
reportbug didn't populate them.  The various other 2.6 initrd images were from
attempts at changing the MODULES line in initramfs.conf.
