I mis-read the code in the previous comment; the condition is fine. To figure it out I added some lines that do each test independently so as to identify which of the three fails. That reveals the problem is the block-device test:

That should be done by a call to hook-functions::setup_dev_linux() before dep_add_modules_mount() There's a waypoint for it in debian/bootstrap-base.postinst before the install_kernel stage. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1582899 Title: in-target: mkinitramfs: failed to determine device for / To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/base-installer/+bug/1582899/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
