Subject: kernel-package: Despite passing --initrd option, no initrd-image was
built.
Package: kernel-package
Version: 10.068
Severity: important
*** Please type your report below this line ***
Hi,
I did the following in /usr/src.
wget http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.21.1.tar.bz2
tar xjvf linux-2.6.21.1.tar.bz2
cd linux-2.6.21.1
cp /boot/config-2.6.20-1-686 .
make menuconfig --> load /usr/src/config-2.6.20-1-686 ; enable DEBUG for
HDI devices
make-kpkg --initrd kernel_image --revision=pm.0 --rootcmd sudo
sudo dpkg -i linux-image-2.6.21.1_pm.0_i386.deb
sudo shutdown -r now
The linux kernel was displayed in GRUB, but did not fully boot, because
it could not access the root filesystem. Looking in /boot/grub/menu.lst
the entries for 2.6.21.1 did not have an initrd line and I did not find
a corresponding image under /boot/ .
Doing
sudo update-initramfs -c -k 2.6.21.1
and editing /boot/grub/menu.lst gave me a bootable linux kernel.
Did I do something wrong? Thanks.
Paul

Hi,
From the sudo man page:
There are two distinct ways to deal with environment variables.
By default, the env_reset sudoers option is enabled. This causes
commands to be executed with a minimal environment containing
TERM, PATH, HOME, SHELL, LOGNAME, USER and USERNAME in addition
to variables from the invoking process permitted by the env_check
and env_keep sudoers options. There is effectively a whitelist
for environment variables.
If, however, the env_reset option is disabled in sudoers, any
variables not explicitly denied by the env_check and env_delete
options are inherited from the invoking process. In this case,
env_check and env_delete behave like a blacklist. Since it is
not possible to blacklist all potentially dangerous envi‐ronment
variables, use of the default env_reset behavior is encouraged.
In all cases, environment variables with a value beginning with
() are removed as they could be inter‐preted as bash functions.
The list of environment variables that sudo allows or denies is
contained in the output of sudo -V when run as root.
