Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.65b Severity: important Tags: patch Hi.
It appears that the new volume group activation code doesn't work with LILO. The culprit is that LILO's fe00 is substituted for /dev/root. I have attached a patch that should fix this behaviour to be correct. I have inspected 0.60 (from testing) and this patch appears to make us conform more closely to how it worked there (where fe00 and /dev/root worked apparently).
