Bug#717805: initramfs-tools: lsinitramfs doesn't understand early microcode images
Brett, your patch (and Olivier, your revised one) don't seem to work for me anymore. By trial and error experimentation (wild guessing), I find that the magic number is no longer 8, but 4, for the two initial RAM file systems that I currently possess, both of which have a real_offset value, before incrementing, of 6796. I note that 6796 divided by 8 yields a quotient of 849 and a remainder of 4. Hmm. Adding 4 brings the value to an integer multiple of 8. I wonder. Maybe the correct algorithm is real_offset=$(((real_offset+8)/8*8)) This will bump real_offset to the next higher multiple of 8. Is this correct? I have no idea. What I do know is that the current algorithm doesn't work for me, but the above does. For now. Will it continue to work in the future? I don't know. -- .''`.

Bug#717805: initramfs-tools: lsinitramfs doesn't understand early microcode images
Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.113 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/lsinitramfs Dear Maintainer, With iucode-tool installed, mkinitramfs will generate an image for 3.9 or higher kernels with an uncompressed cpio archive containing processor firmware before the main, compressed initramfs. lsinitramfs doesn't handle this at all, simply repeating the file name to stdout (not even listing the contents of the first archive). I believe that initramfs should list the contents of both the early microcode firmware and the main initramfs when looking at one of these archives. -- Package-specific info: -- initramfs sizes -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.8M Jul 17 17:56 /boot/initrd.img-3.10.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 2.8M Jul 16 23:25 /boot/initrd.img-3.9.8 -- /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf MODULES=most BUSYBOX=y KEYMAP=n COMPRESS=xz BOOT=local DEVICE= NFSROOT=auto -- /etc/initramfs-tools/update-initramfs.conf update_initramfs=yes backup_initramfs=no -- mkinitramfs hooks /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/: /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks: busybox dmsetup intel_microcode keymap klibc kmod thermal udev -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing'), (900, 'stable'), (400, 'unstable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 armel Kernel: Linux 3.10.1-balti (SMP w/8 CPU cores; PREEMPT) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages initramfs-tools depends on: ii cpio 2.11+dfsg-1 ii klibc-utils2.0.1-3.1 ii kmod 9-3 ii module-init-tools 9-3 ii udev 175-7.2 Versions of packages initramfs-tools recommends: ii busybox 1:1.20.0-8.1 Versions of packages initramfs-tools suggests: ii bash-completion 1:2.0-1 -- Configuration Files: /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf changed: MODULES=most BUSYBOX=y KEYMAP=n COMPRESS=xz BOOT=local DEVICE= NFSROOT=auto -- no debconf information
