Package: evms Version: 2.5.5-2 mkinitramfs fails to create a usable boot image. Booting with the kernel command line "evms_debug" works.
From a userperspective, evms reports that SWAPFS failed. Debug information tells that it fails to execute 'mkswap -V'. mkswap is present in /sbin in the boot image. The file /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/evms appears to be missing from the combination of ii evms 2.5.5-2 Enterprise Volume Management System (core) ii evms-bootdebug 2.5.5-2 Enterprise Volume Management System (boot-ti ii evms-cli 2.5.2-1 Enterprise Volume Management System (CLI) ii evms-ncurses 2.5.5-2 Enterprise Volume Management System (ncurses ii libevms-2.5 2.5.5-2 Enterprise Volume Management System (library ii initramfs-tool 0.53 tools for generating an initramfs Bug #340258 tells me that the file was removed in initramfs-tools/0.50c #340263 that it should have been added in evms/2.5.4-2 - hence i file this bug against evms. My quick and dirty workaround was to copy /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/evms from initramfs-tool 0.46, and add an explicit path to to /sbin. In other words, I changed the last line from /sbin/evms_activate to PATH=/sbin /sbin/evms_activate and I am able to boot from my image as expected. -- "Peter Dahl Vestergaard" [EMAIL PROTECTED]
