Package: lvm2 Version: 2.02.06-4 Severity: normal lvm2create_initrd is missing a few things for it to work: 1. It doesn't actually include the busybox binary. I had to copy this into the initrd myself. Since everything in /bin is a symlink to it, this is critical. 2. It doesn't copy any of the libraries busybox itself needs: libcrypt.so.1 libm.so.6 libc.so.6 3. The /sbin/init script it generates has a #!/bin/bash at the top, and thus there should be a /bin/bash -> /bin/sh link within the initrd as well.
I had to modify my initrd to make all of these changes before the system would even get to calling the init inside initrd without kernel panicing. -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.20.4rider-smp Locale: LANG=en_US, LC_CTYPE=en_US (charmap=ISO-8859-1) Versions of packages lvm2 depends on: ii debconf [debconf-2.0] 1.5.13 Debian configuration management sy ii libc6 2.3.6.ds1-13 GNU C Library: Shared libraries ii libdevmapper1.02 2:1.02.12-1 The Linux Kernel Device Mapper use ii libncurses5 5.5-5 Shared libraries for terminal hand ii libreadline5 5.2-2 GNU readline and history libraries ii libselinux1 1.32-3 SELinux shared libraries ii libsepol1 1.14-3 Security Enhanced Linux policy lib ii lvm-common 1.5.20 The Logical Volume Manager for Lin lvm2 recommends no packages. -- debconf information excluded -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
