Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.91d Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
I've got a LVM setup on top of a raid1 (soft raid). Raid is detected fine but the LVM was not. Here is the problem. LVM has an 'lvm' volume group and a 'root' logical volume. Udev has two entries for this device : - /dev/mapper/lvm-root - /dev/lvm/root On my first try, I had /dev/lvm/root defined as the mounted root device (in /etc/mtab). Even if /dev/lvm/root is a symlink to /dev/mapper/lvm-root, initramfs does not detect it as a LVM volume and therefore does not include the scripts in the initrd. The thing is, when detecting the root filesystem device, the script should check if the device is a link and if so, check if the target is of the form /dev/mapper/* Changing the root filesystem to /dev/mapper/lvm-root solved the problem (after I wasted about an hour). -- Package-specific info: -- /proc/cmdline root=/dev/mapper/lvm-root ro -- /proc/filesystems cramfs ext3 fuseblk vfat -- lsmod Module Size Used by nls_iso8859_1 4128 0 nls_cp437 5792 0 vfat 12032 0 fat 48540 1 vfat binfmt_misc 11112 1 ppdev 8676 0 parport_pc 33828 0 lp 10980 0 parport 33960 3 ppdev,parport_pc,lp button 7920 0 ac 5188 0 battery 9988 0 ipv6 236996 438 fuse 41908 3 snd_seq_dummy 3748 0 snd_seq_oss 29408 0 snd_seq_midi 8160 0 snd_rawmidi 22624 1 snd_seq_midi snd_seq_midi_event 6880 2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi snd_seq 46320 6 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event snd_seq_device 7692 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq sidewinder 11744 0 ns558 4704 0 gameport 14984 2 sidewinder,ns558 w83627hf 22964 0 w83781d 26700 0 hwmon_vid 2944 2 w83627hf,w83781d eeprom 7024 0 i2c_isa 4192 0 cryptoloop 2912 0 loop 16932 1 cryptoloop nvidia 6215760 24 ath_rate_sample 11808 1 tsdev 7968 0 ath_pci 88384 0 snd_intel8x0 32124 1 wlan 183620 3 ath_rate_sample,ath_pci snd_ac97_codec 92836 1 snd_intel8x0 ath_hal 191504 3 ath_rate_sample,ath_pci ac97_bus 2272 1 snd_ac97_codec snd_pcm_oss 39200 0 snd_mixer_oss 15424 1 snd_pcm_oss snd_pcm 72324 3 snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss psmouse 36016 0 pcspkr 3104 0 snd_timer 21028 2 snd_seq,snd_pcm serio_raw 6692 0 i2c_i801 8656 0 iTCO_wdt 9924 0 rtc 12856 0 snd 48324 12 snd_seq_oss,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_seq_device,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec, snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 7520 1 snd snd_page_alloc 10056 2 snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm i2c_core 23552 5 w83781d,eeprom,i2c_isa,nvidia,i2c_i801 shpchp 31060 0 pci_hotplug 29184 1 shpchp intel_agp 23188 1 agpgart 31912 2 nvidia,intel_agp vdev 9312 3 ext3 121288 4 jbd 55336 1 ext3 mbcache 8260 1 ext3 dm_mirror 20928 0 dm_snapshot 16900 0 dm_mod 52160 9 dm_mirror,dm_snapshot raid1 22336 2 md_mod 73588 5 raid1 sg 32668 0 sr_mod 16516 0 cdrom 32832 1 sr_mod ide_disk 16512 3 usb_storage 76608 0 generic 4836 0 [permanent] piix 8868 0 [permanent] ide_core 113764 4 ide_disk,usb_storage,generic,piix ata_piix 13348 0 skge 38096 0 ata_generic 7556 0 ehci_hcd 30796 0 uhci_hcd 22960 0 floppy 54884 0 usbcore 125416 4 usb_storage,ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd sd_mod 27136 6 thermal 13416 0 processor 31176 1 thermal fan 4836 0 sata_sx4 12388 0 sata_via 11460 0 sata_promise 12228 5 libata 115984 5 ata_piix,ata_generic,sata_sx4,sata_via,sata_promise scsi_mod 136620 5 sg,sr_mod,usb_storage,sd_mod,libata -- /etc/kernel-img.conf # Kernel Image management overrides # See kernel-img.conf(5) for details do_symlinks = no do_initrd = Yes postinst_hook = /usr/sbin/update-grub postrm_hook = /usr/sbin/update-grub -- /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf MODULES=most BUSYBOX=y KEYMAP=n BOOT=local DEVICE=eth0 NFSROOT=auto -- System Information: Debian Release: lenny/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.22-3-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) (ignored: LC_ALL set to en_US.utf8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages initramfs-tools depends on: ii cpio 2.9-9 GNU cpio -- a program to manage ar ii findutils 4.2.31-4 utilities for finding files--find, ii klibc-utils 1.5.7-4 small statically-linked utilities ii module-init-tools 3.3-pre11-4 tools for managing Linux kernel mo ii udev 0.114-2 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo Versions of packages initramfs-tools recommends: ii busybox 1:1.1.3-5 Tiny utilities for small and embed -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
