Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.73c
Severity: important
Upgrading initramfs (when package in testing changed) resulted in
non-booting system. I managed to fix things by adding a script to
init-premount that activates (mdam -assemble's) the raid5 device
(/dev/md1) that contains my root filessystem. This probably won't
occur on systems where /boot is on the root filesystem because (AIUI)
the boot raid device is automagically activated.
The reason that the root device isn't activated by mdadm in local-top
is that it is trying to use /etc/mdadm.conf which it doesn't find.
(I don't know if /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf is what it's trying to use, or
if it is supposed to copy that file to /etc in the initramfs file).
The script I added is (less the <script></script> tags):
<script>
#!/bin/sh
PREREQ="udev"
prereqs()
{
echo "$PREREQ"
}
case $1 in
# get pre-requisites
prereqs)
prereqs
exit 0
;;
esac
# Assemble root RAID
mknod /dev/md1 b 9 1
mdadm --assemble -m 1 /dev/md1 /dev/hda2 /dev/hdb2 /dev/hdc2
</script>
