Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.97
Severity: normal
Hello the hurd,
I've updated a few packages yesterday, amongst them is initramfs-tools (0.97).
I now have initramfs-tools 0.97 , cpio 2.11-4 , and gzip 1.3.12-9 . (as per
squeeze now)
# time mkinitramfs -v -k 2.6.34-1-686 -o /tmp/initrd.img-2.6.34-1-686 ; echo
RESULT=$? --- GIVES :

Here follows what I got in my /tmp directory :
maison-portable:/tmp# ls -ld ./initrd.img-2.6.34-1-686 ./mkinitramfs*
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Jun 30 16:21 ./initrd.img-2.6.34-1-686
-rw------- 1 root root 0 Jun 30 16:20 ./mkinitramfs-OL_izVpmK
drwxr-xr-x 9 root root 4096 Jun 30 16:21 ./mkinitramfs_8S2X1U
maison-portable:/tmp#
I closely looked at the folder ( /tmp/mkinitramfs_8S2X1U ) and found it was
sane and contained proper data. (manually generating an initrd from it with
cpio + gzip led to a functional initrd (bootable system))
In order to investigate the matter, I tried the following things :
1) Override /bin/cpio to see its invokation arguments and input data
(stdin).
2) Override /bin/gzip to see its invokation arguments and input length.
As a result, I saw that cpio was invoked in a perfect manner, including sane
data passed on stdin.
But I didn't manage to get anything from gzip since it doesn't seem to be
executed.
Then, I modified /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs to make this script show PATH,
compress, and outfile variables before executing cpio + gzip and got :

I have made no modification to initramfs-tools in order to override the
default compression program. I expected initramfs-tools to invoke gzip by
default, but apparently, there is a problem now, with 0.97 .
In hope my bug report will prove usefull.
Sincerely,
Valentin QUEQUET
