Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.120
Severity: critical
Tags: d-i patch
Justification: breaks the whole system
Dear Maintainer,
*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***
* What led up to the situation?
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
* What was the outcome of this action?
* What outcome did you expect instead?
*** End of the template - remove these template lines ***
I used the Jessie DVD installer on a system with an NVMe SSD add-in-card (PCIe) that I wanted to make bootable, but there were two problems that halted the process:
1. In the install-the-base-system step, the initial ram disk creation step failed because it couldn't translate the nvme device name (nvme0n1p3) to the drive name (nvme0n1). This appears to be a new naming scheme, where "p[0-9]" refers the partition number.
2. In the boot loader installation step, the grub-installer script again couldn't translate nvme0n1p3 to nvme0n1.
I'm making a separate bug for the grub-installer, so I'll only include the initramfs-tools patch here:
