Package: mdadm Version: 3.4-2 Severity: critical In the initrd image your script should source the /conf/param.conf. This brakes the boot of certain systems that depend on it (like mine).
Here is the long explanation: In /scripts/init-premount/export_md_vars I have: #!/bin/sh # skip broken platform check in mdadm echo "Setting up envvars" if [ -d /conf ]; then echo "export IMSM_NO_PLATFORM=1" >> /conf/param.conf echo "Exported" fi That bypasses a check that is clearly wrong for my platform. Until last patch release it was working but now the system fails to boot. Please correct it or suggest a better place to insert the export.
