Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.87b
Severity: normal
I do use my own daily kernels on PReP PPC machine but occassionally test
debian kernels to make sure debian is installabale here.
linux-image-2.6.21-1-prep mostly works here but can not boot
automatically. It can not find root since ROOT= empty. Debian kernels
are compiled with no builtin cmdline for root= and initramfs does not
contain the value either so I have to boot the kernel by hand, providing
root=/dev/sda3 in boot stub. This seems to be a initramfs-tools
defect.
