--- Begin Message ---Package: sysvinit-utils Version: 2.88dsf-55.3 File: /sbin/sulogin "sulogin: cannot open password database" "sulogin: segfault ... 4 ... segment violation" To reproduce: Be sure you have more than one kernel installed in order to be able to boot into another to finally get back to your system. Now with initramfs-tools Ver: 0.118 installed, first change /etc/fstab making the type for / be "auto", not ext4 etc. Now change # diff /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/functions{OLD,} 581c581 < sleep 5 --- > sleep 225 (to give enough time to scroll back and read the messages which I penciled down and typed in approximately above.) and then run update-initramfs -u (will give warning about filesystem type) and reboot.
