retitle 336993 initramfs done by yaird with XFS
severity 336993 serious
thanks
I use XFS on a production system and surely I am not alone in that
case, so IMHO, it is a dead serious bug.
It seems the initramfs implementation is sensitive to cruft at the
end of the cpio.gz file. Also, it seems like yaboot might be loading
extra data and appending them to the end of the image causing the
kernel to fail to unpack the image.
Most probably, the issue is located in the xfs_read code of yaboot. We
will investigate that...
Cheers,
