Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.97 Severity: important
The generated /etc/yaboot.conf contains lines append="root=UUID ro" for partitions that have their /etc/fstab root line using "UUID=... " . This makes it impossible to boot into those partitions: the boot progresses to the point of trying to mount the root filesystem and dies with Begin: Running /scripts/local-premount ... done Mount: mounting UUID on /root failed: No such directory then a few more errors obviously caused by not having a mounted root and eventually dropping into the (initrd) BusyBox shell. When I went back and changed the offending line to append="root=/dev/hda6 ro" and reran ybin, everything was fine. See bug # 580455 for another aspect of the switch to UUID naming being broken on powerPC. -- Package-specific info: -- initramfs sizes -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9.8M Jun 26 23:48 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-powerpc -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 9.9M Jun 27 00:06 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-powerpc-smp -- /proc/cmdline root=/p...@f2000000/mac...@17/at...@1f000/d...@0:4 root=/dev/hda4 ro -- resume RESUME=UUID=e672ba0d-2c2e-4b03-9e4e-7a71f39c44b9 -- /proc/filesystems ext3 -- lsmod Module Size Used by uinput 10475 2 loop 16273 0 firewire_sbp2 16232 0 snd_aoa_codec_tas 13079 2 snd_aoa_fabric_layout 12091 0 snd_aoa 15620 2 snd_aoa_codec_tas,snd_aoa_fabric_layout snd_aoa_i2sbus 20933 1 snd_pcm 67233 1 snd_aoa_i2sbus snd_timer 21510 1 snd_pcm snd_page_alloc 9053 1 snd_pcm snd 53564 6 snd_aoa_codec_tas,snd_aoa_fabric_layout,snd_aoa,snd_aoa_i2sbus,snd_pcm,snd_timer soundcore 8335 1 snd snd_aoa_soundbus 6669 2 snd_aoa_fabric_layout,snd_aoa_i2sbus evdev 12021 12 ext3 126551 1 jbd 46110 1 ext3 mbcache 8870 1 ext3 usbhid 40424 0 hid 68369 1 usbhid raid1 24559 1 md_mod 89657 1 raid1 ata_generic 5947 0 libata 143752 1 ata_generic scsi_mod 128326 2 firewire_sbp2,libata ide_pci_generic 5580 0 ohci_hcd 35644 0 firewire_ohci 26292 0 ehci_hcd 43274 0 ide_cd_mod 28609 0 sungem 31621 0 firewire_core 44766 2 firewire_sbp2,firewire_ohci cdrom 36707 1 ide_cd_mod sungem_phy 12982 1 sungem crc_itu_t 4495 1 firewire_core usbcore 133556 4 usbhid,ohci_hcd,ehci_hcd i2c_powermac 6651 0 nls_base 8937 1 usbcore siimage 9538 2 -- /etc/kernel-img.conf # Kernel image management overrides # See kernel-img.conf(5) for details do_symlinks = yes do_bootloader = no do_initrd = yes link_in_boot = yes -- /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf MODULES=most BUSYBOX=y KEYMAP=n COMPRESS=gzip BOOT=local DEVICE= NFSROOT=auto -- /etc/initramfs-tools/update-initramfs.conf update_initramfs=yes backup_initramfs=no -- /proc/mdstat Personalities : [raid1] md127 : active (auto-read-only) raid1 hdg2[0] hdi2[1] 244198464 blocks [2/2] [UU] unused devices: <none> -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: powerpc (ppc) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-powerpc-smp (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages initramfs-tools depends on: ii cpio 2.11-4 GNU cpio -- a program to manage ar ii findutils 4.4.2-1 utilities for finding files--find, ii klibc-utils 1.5.18-1 small utilities built with klibc f ii module-init-tools 3.12~pre2-3 tools for managing Linux kernel mo ii udev 157-1 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo Versions of packages initramfs-tools recommends: ii busybox 1:1.15.3-1 Tiny utilities for small and embed Versions of packages initramfs-tools suggests: ii bash-completion 1:1.2-2 programmable completion for the ba -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
