Hi, I still have the issue that with initramfstools later than 0.116 (ie
0.117 and 0.118) that with the disks corrupted, the boot process would hang.
With initramfs-tools 0.116, the boot process proceeded normally and
successfully run fsck on the filesystems to be mounted (the disk above
with a HPA was not listed in /etc/fstab to have any filesystems mounted).
I'm not sure how to reproduce this bug without resorting to somehow
deliberately corrupting a filesystem and/or disk partition table.
I think this must be a kernel or hardware bug that is triggered by
slightly different behaviour in initramfs-tools.
Have you seen this issue recur with more recent kernel versions?
Ben.
