Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.98.8
Severity: important
Hi all,
I am trying to setup a 64 bit machine with Debian squeeze. After the
installation complete (this is a special crafted installation with mixed
32bit and 64bit executables) the machine cannot boot anymore.
The bootloader is grub-pc. It starts, then load kernel and initrd,
uncompress initrd and tries to run the shell. This is where it fails
giving the error "libm.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such
file or directory".
I booted via a cdrom (debian 6.0 live rescue amd64), mounted all volumes
in /mnt (and subdirs) and chroot'ed into it.
Then, I went to /boot and uncompress the initrd image. This is what I
can see:

As you may see all program work correctly. I may even run busybox on the
main system, but if I try to run it inside the initramfs image then it
fails.
I tried to create the initrd image from scratch but it does not solve
the problem. The command I used is:
root@debian:/boot/f# update-initramfs -k all -u
update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-amd64

W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/tigon/tg3_tso.bin for module tg3
W: Possible missing firmware /lib/firmware/tigon/tg3.bin for module tg3
Any hints on what to do next?
I thank you very much,
Giuseppe
