Public bug reported: Binary package hint: initramfs-tools
Observed in initramfs-tools 0.98.1ubuntu6 Observed in flash-kernel 2.28ubuntu10 Platform: vexpress (armel) flash-kernel should do nothing if /etc/flash-kernel.conf doesn't exist? (this may either be a regression, or a platform-specific problem) initramfs-tools should not even attempt to update the bootloader's initrd image (and so probably shouldn't invoke flash-kernel at all) unless /etc/kernel-img.conf says so (with do_initrd = Yes) Of course, in a "normal" installation, both configuration files will exist. But for test platforms, and in some other situations, we want to avoid gratuitous flash rewrites. ** Affects: flash-kernel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Affects: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: armel ** Also affects: flash-kernel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/691074 Title: update-initramfs trigger should *not* unconditionally run flash-kernel -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
