You can file a bug report with them if you want. there is a newer version in experimental, but without the ext4 fix yet. no priority for lenny as 2.6.26 is anyway too old for ext4. there will be no upload to unstable before lenny release. Every Debian user who tries using an EXT4 root will run into this problem until the fix is picked up. The kernel klibc people responded immediately to my bug report and put the fix into klibc-1.5.15: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12354 I hope it gets picked up soon since the ENODEV error that results when the mount fails is confusing: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12368 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.

Package: klibc-utils
Version: 1.5.12-2
Severity: important
In /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local, get_fstype() uses
what is probably /usr/lib/klibc/bin/fstype to determine the fs type.
This returns 'ext3' for an ext4 fs, unlike /lib/udev/vol_id, which
returns 'ext4'.
This breaks the initrd, which fails to mount the rootfs and gives
ENODEV. Can't mount root, system useless unless one uses a
rootfstype=ext4 kernel parameter.
get_fstype ()
{
get_fstype() { local FS FSTYPE FSSIZE RET FS=${1}
# vol_id has a more complete list of file systems,
# but fstype is more robust
eval $(fstype ${FS} 2 /dev/null)
if [ $FSTYPE = unknown ] [ -x
/lib/udev/vol_id ]; then
FSTYPE=$(/lib/udev/vol_id -t ${FS} 2 /dev/null)
fi
RET=$?
if [ -z
${FSTYPE} ]; then
FSTYPE=unknown
