Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.109.1 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
Dear Maintainer, When update-initramfs is called indirectly by apt-get, I get following error message: root device ubi0:rootfs does not exist. I get the option to enter Control-C to abort or Enter to continu, but whatever I choose, nothing happened and I get no prompt. As my only connection to device was via serial line which was blocked by update-initramfs, I could not take any other action than reboot the system, but restarting failed because there was no initial ram-disk. In both cases described below, I was obliged to re-install debian on the device. * What led up to the situation? I have a sheevaplug which is a small arm-based system. I originally installed debian squeeze in the flash of this device according to following instructions: http://www.blaicher.com/2012/07/installing-debian-on-a-sheevaplug-into-flash/ First occurence: when upgrading from squeeze to wheezy Second occurence: when re-installing sheevaplug from scratch, when I installed the package lvm2 when I was running with root on the flash device * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or ineffective)? I solved the problem temporary by installing the package lvm2 when I was still running with root on my USB stick. I found on the web two cases where the same problem occured, but the cure was different. One person created a soft-link from /dev/ubi_0_0 to /dev/root: https://github.com/rshk/wiki.hackzine.org/blob/master/source/hardware/guruplug-misc.rst Another removed the package flash-kernel http://forum.doozan.com/read.php?2,9256,9256,quote=1 I did both actions, but I did not dare to call update-initramfs yet. Could someone please confirm which action is appropriate ? -- Package-specific info: -- initramfs sizes -- /proc/cmdline console=ttyS0,115200 ubi.mtd=2 root=ubi0:rootfs rootfstype=ubifs -- resume RESUME=UUID=f7d2a8ea-5988-437f-afa7-eedcac2e54fd -- /proc/filesystems ext4 ext3 -- lsmod Module Size Used by usblp 9257 0 autofs4 19382 2 act_police 3510 0 cls_basic 3377 0 cls_flow 6531 0 cls_fw 3460 0 cls_u32 6354 0 sch_tbf 3837 0 sch_prio 3590 0 sch_htb 12741 0 sch_hfsc 12853 0 sch_ingress 1542 0 sch_sfq 5436 0 xt_statistic 1065 0 xt_CT 1641 0 xt_time 1701 0 xt_connlimit 2780 0 xt_realm 733 0 xt_addrtype 2223 5 iptable_raw 1054 0 xt_comment 689 31 xt_recent 7888 0 xt_policy 2256 0 ipt_ULOG 4963 0 ipt_REJECT 1911 4 ipt_REDIRECT 949 0 ipt_NETMAP 923 0 ipt_MASQUERADE 1396 0 ipt_ECN 1514 0 ipt_ecn 1182 0 ipt_CLUSTERIP 5215 0 ipt_ah 915 0 xt_set 3955 0 ip_set 19717 1 xt_set nf_nat_tftp 804 0 nf_nat_snmp_basic 7316 0 nf_conntrack_snmp 901 1 nf_nat_snmp_basic nf_nat_sip 6086 0 nf_nat_pptp 2388 0 nf_nat_proto_gre 1115 1 nf_nat_pptp nf_nat_irc 1216 0 nf_nat_h323 6113 0 nf_nat_ftp 1418 0 nf_nat_amanda 978 0 ts_kmp 1409 5 nf_conntrack_amanda 1775 1 nf_nat_amanda nf_conntrack_sane 2866 0 nf_conntrack_tftp 2559 1 nf_nat_tftp nf_conntrack_sip 16154 1 nf_nat_sip nf_conntrack_proto_udplite 2413 0 nf_conntrack_proto_sctp 6027 0 nf_conntrack_pptp 3783 1 nf_nat_pptp nf_conntrack_proto_gre 4591 1 nf_conntrack_pptp nf_conntrack_netlink 16916 0 nf_conntrack_netbios_ns 811 0 nf_conntrack_broadcast 892 2 nf_conntrack_netbios_ns,nf_conntrack_snmp nf_conntrack_irc 2705 1 nf_nat_irc nf_conntrack_h323 33986 1 nf_nat_h323 nf_conntrack_ftp 4859 1 nf_nat_ftp xt_TPROXY 4053 0 nf_defrag_ipv6 5415 1 xt_TPROXY ip6_tables 10291 1 xt_TPROXY nf_tproxy_core 894 1 xt_TPROXY xt_tcpmss 1139 0 xt_pkttype 793 0 xt_physdev 1622 0 xt_owner 921 0 xt_NFQUEUE 1710 0 xt_NFLOG 860 0 nfnetlink_log 6883 1 xt_NFLOG xt_multiport 1536 4 xt_mark 883 1 xt_mac 829 0 xt_limit 1302 4 xt_length 946 0 xt_iprange 1518 21 xt_helper 1097 0 xt_hashlimit 7740 0 xt_DSCP 1713 0 xt_dscp 1333 0 xt_dccp 1777 0 xt_conntrack 2703 15 xt_connmark 1503 0 xt_CLASSIFY 779 0 xt_AUDIT 2621 0 ipt_LOG 6236 10 xt_tcpudp 1973 33 xt_state 969 0 iptable_nat 3370 0 nf_nat 13203 12 iptable_nat,nf_nat_amanda,nf_nat_ftp,nf_nat_h323,nf_nat_irc,nf_nat_proto_gre,nf_nat_pptp,nf_nat_sip,nf_nat_tftp,ipt_MASQUERADE,ipt_NETMAP,ipt_REDIRECT nf_conntrack_ipv4 9990 18 nf_nat,iptable_nat nf_defrag_ipv4 1041 2 nf_conntrack_ipv4,xt_TPROXY nf_conntrack 53628 34 nf_conntrack_ipv4,nf_nat,iptable_nat,xt_state,xt_connmark,xt_conntrack,xt_helper,nf_conntrack_ftp,nf_conntrack_h323,nf_conntrack_irc,nf_conntrack_broadcast,nf_conntrack_netbios_ns,nf_conntrack_netlink,nf_conntrack_proto_gre,nf_conntrack_pptp,nf_conntrack_proto_sctp,nf_conntrack_proto_udplite,nf_conntrack_sip,nf_conntrack_tftp,nf_conntrack_sane,nf_conntrack_amanda,nf_nat_amanda,nf_nat_ftp,nf_nat_h323,nf_nat_irc,nf_nat_pptp,nf_nat_sip,nf_conntrack_snmp,nf_nat_snmp_basic,nf_nat_tftp,ipt_CLUSTERIP,ipt_MASQUERADE,xt_connlimit,xt_CT iptable_mangle 1242 1 nfnetlink 2596 3 nfnetlink_log,nf_conntrack_netlink,ip_set iptable_filter 1150 1 ip_tables 9464 4 iptable_filter,iptable_mangle,iptable_nat,iptable_raw x_tables 11383 50 ip_tables,iptable_filter,iptable_mangle,iptable_nat,xt_state,xt_tcpudp,ipt_LOG,xt_AUDIT,xt_CLASSIFY,xt_connmark,xt_conntrack,xt_dccp,xt_dscp,xt_DSCP,xt_hashlimit,xt_helper,xt_iprange,xt_length,xt_limit,xt_mac,xt_mark,xt_multiport,xt_NFLOG,xt_NFQUEUE,xt_owner,xt_physdev,xt_pkttype,xt_tcpmss,ip6_tables,xt_TPROXY,xt_set,ipt_ah,ipt_CLUSTERIP,ipt_ecn,ipt_ECN,ipt_MASQUERADE,ipt_NETMAP,ipt_REDIRECT,ipt_REJECT,ipt_ULOG,xt_policy,xt_recent,xt_comment,iptable_raw,xt_addrtype,xt_realm,xt_connlimit,xt_time,xt_CT,xt_statistic nfsd 228461 13 nfs 340345 0 nfs_acl 2205 2 nfs,nfsd auth_rpcgss 33901 2 nfs,nfsd fscache 41075 1 nfs lockd 67556 2 nfs,nfsd sunrpc 183760 29 lockd,auth_rpcgss,nfs_acl,nfs,nfsd ipv6 261279 56 nf_defrag_ipv6,xt_TPROXY ext3 163593 1 jbd 59789 1 ext3 ext4 380679 14 jbd2 67983 1 ext4 mbcache 4460 2 ext4,ext3 sg 18141 0 sd_mod 31044 2 crc_t10dif 1110 1 sd_mod loop 13325 0 usb_storage 34981 1 scsi_mod 149913 3 usb_storage,sd_mod,sg hmac 2427 0 sha1_generic 1740 0 mv_cesa 9469 0 aes_generic 27588 1 mv_cesa dm_mod 63831 52 ehci_hcd 37381 0 usbcore 121932 4 ehci_hcd,usb_storage,usblp mvsdio 5182 0 mmc_core 80180 1 mvsdio usb_common 648 1 usbcore mv643xx_eth 23026 0 inet_lro 4272 1 mv643xx_eth libphy 14604 1 mv643xx_eth -- /etc/initramfs-tools/modules -- /etc/kernel-img.conf #
