Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.93.4
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks the whole system
I upgraded my kernel from 2.6.26 to 2.6.30 and could not boot the system over
the new kernel. I still can boot it from the old 2.6.26 kernel.
My root disk is on a mirror raid based on 2 SCSI disk. The boot process
stopsand gives a message to the effect that the file system is unavailable.
I have an extended knowledge on hardware (I used to be a DEC/Compaq/HP harware
support engineer on pdp11/VAX/alpha under VMS and Tru64). I have no indepth
knowledge of the linux system.
I think there is a problem with the initramfs-tools because there is no
mdadm.conf describing my md devices... In fact there is no mdadm directory
under etc in the initrd.img-2.6.30.2.686 created by the upgrade.
