Package: initscripts Version: 2.86.ds1-65 Severity: normal
Hi, We have here nfsroot, and no "/" entry in /etc/fstab. It seems that checkroot.sh suppose to support it, i.e. if it doesn't get to a "/" entry, the rootcheck variable is set to "no" (or, more precisely, remains "no"). However, in line 208, for some undocumented reason, there is a "rootcheck=yes" overriding any previous rootcheck=no, causing fsck to run (in our case) as "fsck -C -a -t none none", which runs reiserfsck, which fails. Deleting that line seems to solve it for us.
