Package: kernel-package Version: 10.026 Severity: wishlist (I am using yaird to build my initrds, although I don't think this matters.)
I have a relatively small /boot partition, and as I'm testing some different hardware configurations I have more kernels than usual in there. Sometimes, in a kernel package's postinst, yaird fails, with e.g.: yaird error: Could not copy /lib/modules/2.6.14.5/kernel/fs/ext3/ext3.ko to /boot/initrd.img-2.6.14.5.new.dUZo9bILYHwcSiV1/lib/modules/2.6.14.5/kernel/fs/ext3/ext3.ko (fatal) As far as I can tell, this is because /boot is out of space. As the uncompressed initramfs tree is considerably larger than the final image, if I could build it in /tmp and then write the compressed version to /boot, this would not be a problem. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-rc7fix Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages kernel-package depends on: ii dpkg 1.13.11.0.1 package maintenance system for Deb ii dpkg-dev 1.13.11 package building tools for Debian ii file 4.15-2 Determines file type using "magic" ii gcc [c-compiler] 4:4.0.2-2 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-3.3 [c-compiler] 1:3.3.6-12 The GNU C compiler ii gcc-4.0 [c-compiler] 4.0.2-5 The GNU C compiler ii gettext 0.14.5-2 GNU Internationalization utilities ii make 3.80+3.81.b4-1 The GNU version of the "make" util ii perl 5.8.7-10 Larry Wall's Practical Extraction ii po-debconf 0.9.2 manage translated Debconf template Versions of packages kernel-package recommends: ii bzip2 1.0.2-11 high-quality block-sorting file co ii libc6-dev [libc-dev] 2.3.5-9 GNU C Library: Development Librari -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
