maks, can you comment on this patch. I've attached the full hook for context. Maybe you'll find other cases that need to be handled in a special way.

Aside: I think this may be fragile (literal tabs), using [:white:] would be better. Indeed, grep piped to AWK is often redundant (as AWK will parse the line again, and has its own POSIX RE support). Indeed AWK has, what I would consider more comprehensible way of writing this (tested along with the patch):
rootdev=$(awk '$1 !~ /^#/ && $2 == "/" { print $1; exit }' /etc/fstab) || true
+# Map LVM devices in the form of /dev/vg/lv to /dev/mapper/, otherwise +# initramfs won't initialize them. +link=$(readlink -f $rootdev) +if echo "$link" | grep -q "^/dev/mapper/"; then + rootdev=$link +fi + # Translate LABEL and UUID entries into a proper device name. if echo "$rootdev" | grep -q "="; then a=$(echo "$rootdev" | cut -d "=" -f 1)
This works fine for me! Thanks very much! regards, -- Paul Jakma p...@clubi.ie p...@jakma.org Key ID: 64A2FF6A Fortune: You can't cheat an honest man.
