Bug#923165: initramfs: reboot in panic function does not work
Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.133
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
The panic()-function in /scripts/function tries to reboot the system.
When this fails, a kernel panic is generated by exiting PID 1.
At least for me, the reboot always fails. AFAIK "reboot" would not work at all
because there is no reboot handler at this stage...
