Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.92o
Severity: important
After upgrading from etch to lenny the new kernel would not boot, but stop with
a message "Waiting for
root file system". The root file system is on a luks partiton as
/dev/mapper/root. As suggested in the
debian docs I added a file system label to /etc/fstab to avoid possible
/dev/hda - /dev/sda confusions
with a new kernel before upgrading, so the line for the root partition in
/etc/fstab looked like:
LABEL=CRYPTOROOT / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
When I opened the initrd.img with gzip and cpio I found the
conf/conf.d/cryptroot was missing; when I
added it manually and re-packaged the initrd.img the system would boot up
normally.
On a web search I found the discussion about bug #507721 and although I was not
able to fully understand
the technical details I thought it resembled my problems a lot. I then just
tried to replace the
LABEL=CRYPTROOT in /etc/fstab with /dev/mapper/root and ran update-initramfs
again which then resulted
in a correct initrd.img, so it looks like initramfs-tools does not handle file
system labels correctly.
Regards
Michael
