Bug#446724: SAME SITUATION - initramfs-tools: creates broken initramfs image as reported on Bug #445688
Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.90a Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system Hi, I have the same situation described by Beojan in one of my boxes but not the other two - all three are debian testing. His solution - yaird - also worked for me. Reading the bug report I came about an interesting point in that the phrases below do not apply to me as my systems always were/are debian: " i'm sorry but your initramfs-tools is not from debian, we _never_ shipped with an modprobe -Q argument in those boot scripts. " " >You may wish to know that I switched to Debian from Feisty using > dist-upgrade, and udev > didn't get upgraded. " A call to egrep -r modprobe /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount/ shows some modprobe commands, all are without options such as: tatarana:/etc/default# egrep -r modprobe /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount/ | head -2 /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount/ps3:modprobe ps3_storage /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-premount/ps3:modprobe gelic_net I run apt-get dist-upgrade regularly on these systems. Yesterday - oct 14 2007 - I brought all three up to date. Only one maintained the problem. The other two booted ok with new 2.6.22-2 kernel. My systems differ only in installed packages and initial install date. I do not get any deb files outside of apt. At the end of this message is my sources.list for reference. My current initramfs is also 0.90a. tatarana:~# ls /var/cache/apt/archives/ | grep initram initramfs-tools_0.89_all.deb initramfs-tools_0.90a_all.deb initramfs-tools_0.90_all.deb Since apt installed kernel 2.6.21-2 on my system I get the "Waiting for root filesystem" at boot time error. What is amazing is that my other two boxes have also up to date kernels and never had this problem. I initially reported this error as a kernel error but was unable to do a good follow-up on it. I imagined that as the kernel evolved the problem would dissapear. Since it did not I resumed trying to figure out the situation. Beojan's report reproduced my error. His modprobe -Q explanation though does not seem to apply to my computer. I hope a comparision of my three systems will help in finding the cause of this problem. Thanks for your help, I am available to supply any necessary information.

Bug#432971: Similar issue, but solved
Guido, Have not tested 2.6.22 yet, received an updated 2.6.21 with the same bug. Is it correct that I must get an experimental kernel package called Linux 2.6.22-rc5 or compile from source? Can you give me some pointers here? Thanks, Miguel On Wed, 2007-07-18 at 12:18 +0200, Guido Trotter wrote: > I had a similar problem for 2.6.20 and 2.6.21, but it was solved for me in > 2.6.22...

Bug#432971: linux-image-2.6.21-2-686: Hangs at boot before "Begin: Waiting for root filesystem" message
Package: linux-image-2.6.21-2-686 Version: 2.6.21-5 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system On boot if kernel 2.6.21-2 is selected either for 486 or 686 architecture than system hangs on "Begin: Waiting for root filesystem" I believe this is right after kernel has inited. Is this correct? Kernel - 2.6.18 boots normally. Please suggest some tests so I can bring more specific info to this bug report. On boot BIOS says system is an intel Celeron 1700. RAM is 753664 bytes + 32768 shared 2 ide hard drives, 1 creative cdr drive 1 AGP video, 1 PCI video Thank you.

I think it is ok to commit. I will dist-update my system and send feedback if all is not ok.

Bug#432716: exim4-config: Exim4 4.67-5 does not honor dc_hide_mailname='true' setting
Hi Marc,
Works now...thank you.
The macro language used to generate the config file has a pretty tough
syntax
Thanks again for your prompt response...
The log shows the origianl mailname but the email domains are being
rewritten and the emails relayed:
