Title:
Does not like heterogeneous/old hardware config
Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
Experiencing several booting issues on that system with old hardware:
1 pata hdd + 1 sata hdd + 4 Gb ram
This is with fresh different installations, all i386, ext4:
1) ubuntu : precise/saucy/trusty
- get bad loading experience (about 50 % of the time) :
* seems a not optimal initramfs-tools.config : lot of "xz-compressed"
errors, "uncompressed data" errors, "cant find a root uuid" or other
"rootdelay" whining : so seems to be that hardware too slow and then confuse
the loading process.
- initramfs-tools package on Trusty, even if it has been updated recently,
seems to be way older than the Jessy/Sid version.
2) debian Jessy installation
- the initramfs-tools package is much up-to-date : 0.115 (instead of 0.103
on ubuntu)
- the loading nightmare here does not exist (that's the most important to me)
- Jessie load must faster than saucy/trusty : looks like that only the
needed modules are loaded (ubuntu load all of them by default)
Looking at (trusty):
- /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/ : empty folder
- /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs-tools.conf :
* MODULES=most : maybe "dep" should be used to get a shorter modules
list to load
* COMPCACHE_SIZE="" : zram is now used (if wanted)
So please review that important config for booting (syncing or merging
the debian package seems needed asap)
