Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.116
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
Dear Maintainer,
During an update, this is what I see:
[..]
Processing triggers for initramfs-tools (0.116) ...
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.16-3-amd64
/803: No such file or directory
[update continues]
After a reboot, the system is unbootable due to a missing rootfs. As you can
see below, the root fs is 803 (which in fact is /dev/sda3)
A workaround is to set a symlink:
# ln -s /dev/root /803
After that, run:
# dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-3.16-3-amd64
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/initramfs-tools:
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-3.16-3-amd64
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-runlilo:
Warning: LBA32 addressing assumed
Added Linux *
Added LinuxOLD
Added memtest
One warning was issued.
I've seen this issue on a few systems running Debian Testing. In all cases it
was /dev/sda3 as rootfs.
Richard.
