I believe the key to the reproducer is having the kdump-tools package
installed in the chroot. The kdump-tools package provides a
/etc/kernel/postinst.d/kdump-tools script, which has the following
snippet:
(Apologies for formatting, the interface removes the leading spaces from
this code)
43 if test "${MODULES-most}" = most; then
44 # Switch from "most" to "dep" to reduce the size of the initramfs.
45 # "netboot" and "list" are expected to be already small enough.
46 KDUMP_MODULES=dep
47 fi
48
49 # We need a modified copy of initramfs-tools directory
50 # with MODULES=dep in initramfs.conf
51 if [ ! -d "$kdumpdir" ];then
52 mkdir -p "$kdumpdir"
53 fi
54 # Force re-creation of $kdumpdir/initramfs-tools
55 # in case the source has changed since last time
56 # we ran
57 if [ -d "$kdumpdir/initramfs-tools" ];then
58 rm -Rf $kdumpdir/initramfs-tools
59 fi
60 cp -pr /etc/initramfs-tools "$kdumpdir"
61
62 initramfsdir="$kdumpdir/initramfs-tools"
63
64 if test -n "${KDUMP_MODULES-}" -a "${KDUMP_MODULES-}" != "${MODULES}"; then
65 mkdir -p "$initramfsdir/conf.d"
66 echo "MODULES=${KDUMP_MODULES}" > "$initramfsdir/conf.d/zzz-kdump"
67 fi
This changes the initramfs-tools default from "MODULES=most" to
"MODULES=dep" before generating the initrd. "MODULES=dep" fails in a
chroot because there's no way to map '/' back to the block device that
it resides on.
