[...] fsck.ext4 is not present in the initramfs, probably because initramfs-tools was installed before e2fsprogs. Unfortunately, we cannot simply make initramfs-tools depend on the appropriate package because it depends on which filesystem is used for root. vmdebootstrap should install the kernel last so that all programs that may be wanted in the initramfs will be available when the initramfs is built. But also, a fsck failure because fsck.<type> is missing should not be fatal. Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans. - John Lennon
