Bug#504555: initramfs-tools: fix reboot partition support

2008-11-04 Thread Andres Salomon
Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.92l Severity: normal Hi, Redboot partitioning (used by mtd devices) provides devices with names like "mtd:foo". Unfortunately, when booting with root=mtd:foo, the "*:*" check in parse_numeric is matched and things break (the code expects major:minor numbers).

2008-11-04 Thread Andres Salomon
Hi, Along with an earlier submitted patch to include the mtd and jffs modules in the initrd image, the attached patch is needed for booting with root=mtd0. Basically, the init scripts assume the root device should have a special device file somewhere, and if not will wait for it to appear. This p

If I revert features/all/xen/workaround-pte-file.patch (i.e. use _PAGE_PSE for _PAGE_PROTNONE) then the crash when running the test program turns into a simple OOM, which I think is acceptable given the nature of the test program. However I assume the workaround is there for a specific purpose, wh
