Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.97.2 Severity: normal Hi,
for testing purposes, I installed the upstart binary as /sbin/upstart and created a symlink /sbin/init → /sbin/upstart This causes a boot failure, due to this check in /usr/share/initramfs- tools/init # Check init bootarg if [ -n "${init}" ] && [ ! -x "${rootmnt}${init}" ]; then echo "Target filesystem doesn't have ${init}." init= fi To quote Mithrandir (from irc): <Mithrandir> -x follows symlinks <Mithrandir> but that means it'll look for symlinks in the initramfs, so the check is buggy. -- Package-specific info: -- initramfs sizes -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6.2M Jul 25 00:10 /boot/initrd.img-2.6.32-5-686 -- /proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.32-5-686 root=UUID=9a6d2bd2-58d1-4a75-baff-166b8637e3cc ro init=/bin/systemd systemd.log_target=kmsg systemd.crash_shell=1 systemd.crash_chvt=1 systemd.log_level=info quiet -- resume RESUME=LABEL=Swap -- /proc/filesystems ext4 fuseblk -- lsmod Module Size Used by michael_mic 1506 4 arc4 974 2 ecb 1405 2 lib80211_crypt_tkip 6709 1 aes_i586 6816 1 aes_generic 25738 1 aes_i586 lib80211_crypt_ccmp 3643 1 sco 5857 2 acpi_cpufreq 4943 0 bridge 32987 0 stp 996 1 bridge bnep 7444 2 cpufreq_userspace 1480 0 rfcomm 25167 8 l2cap 21705 16 bnep,rfcomm cpufreq_stats 1940 0 cpufreq_powersave 602 0 cpufreq_conservative 4018 0 ppdev 4058 0 lp 5570 0 vboxnetadp 5118 0 vboxnetflt 12555 0 vboxdrv 126550 2 vboxnetadp,vboxnetflt fuse 43758 3 binfmt_misc 4907 1 dm_crypt 9127 0 dm_mod 46082 1 dm_crypt joydev 6771 0 snd_intel8x0m 8100 0 pcmcia 17442 0 snd_intel8x0 19523 1 snd_ac97_codec 79148 2 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0 ac97_bus 710 1 snd_ac97_codec snd_pcm_oss 28671 0 snd_mixer_oss 10461 1 snd_pcm_oss btusb 7997 2 snd_pcm 47214 4 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_seq_midi 3576 0 bluetooth 36327 9 sco,bnep,rfcomm,l2cap,btusb rfkill 10264 3 bluetooth snd_rawmidi 12505 1 snd_seq_midi sg 15968 0 snd_seq_midi_event 3684 1 snd_seq_midi snd_seq 35463 2 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event smsc_ircc2 8891 0 firewire_ohci 16509 0 8139too 14949 0 ipw2200 108368 0 yenta_socket 16403 1 irda 75920 1 smsc_ircc2 parport_pc 15799 1 sr_mod 10770 0 firewire_core 31187 1 firewire_ohci 8139cp 13421 0 libipw 18439 1 ipw2200 rsrc_nonstatic 7057 1 yenta_socket snd_timer 12258 2 snd_pcm,snd_seq snd_seq_device 3673 3 snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq pcmcia_core 20450 3 pcmcia,yenta_socket,rsrc_nonstatic lib80211 2870 4 lib80211_crypt_tkip,lib80211_crypt_ccmp,ipw2200,libipw snd 34363 12 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device mii 2714 2 8139too,8139cp crc_itu_t 1035 1 firewire_core uhci_hcd 16057 0 cdrom 26487 1 sr_mod container 1833 0 wbsd 8650 0 crc_ccitt 1039 1 irda parport 22554 3 ppdev,lp,parport_pc ac 1640 0 battery 3782 0 mmc_core 38503 1 wbsd soundcore 3450 1 snd processor 26599 2 acpi_cpufreq pcspkr 1207 0 serio_raw 2916 0 psmouse 44657 0 evdev 5609 16 snd_page_alloc 5045 3 snd_intel8x0m,snd_intel8x0,snd_pcm i2c_i801 6462 0 shpchp 21220 0 rng_core 2178 0 ehci_hcd 27851 0 pci_hotplug 18065 1 shpchp usbcore 98402 4 btusb,uhci_hcd,ehci_hcd nls_base 4541 1 usbcore autofs4 16667 6 ext4 254973 2 mbcache 3762 1 ext4 jbd2 56091 1 ext4 crc16 1027 2 l2cap,ext4 radeon 509090 2 sd_mod 25869 5 crc_t10dif 1012 1 sd_mod ttm 33378 1 radeon ata_generic 2019 0 drm_kms_helper 18305 1 radeon ata_piix 17640 4 drm 112020 4 radeon,ttm,drm_kms_helper i2c_algo_bit 3497 1 radeon video 14605 0 thermal 9206 0 libata 115721 2 ata_generic,ata_piix output 1204 1 video i2c_core 12696 5 i2c_i801,radeon,drm_kms_helper,drm,i2c_algo_bit thermal_sys 9378 3 processor,video,thermal button 3598 0 scsi_mod 101401 4 sg,sr_mod,sd_mod,libata -- /etc/kernel-img.conf # Kernel image management overrides # See kernel-img.conf(5) for details do_symlinks = no relative_links = yes do_bootloader = no do_bootfloppy = no do_initrd = yes link_in_boot = no postinst_hook = update-grub postrm_hook = update-grub -- /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf MODULES=dep BUSYBOX=y KEYMAP=n COMPRESS=gzip BOOT=local DEVICE= NFSROOT=auto -- /etc/initramfs-tools/update-initramfs.conf update_initramfs=yes backup_initramfs=no -- /etc/crypttab # <target name> <source device> <key file> <options> -- /sys/block sda sr0 -- System Information: Debian Release: squeeze/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.32-5-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=de_DE.utf8, LC_CTYPE=de_DE.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) 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 3.12-1 tools for managing Linux kernel mo ii udev 160-1 /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 -- Configuration Files: /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf changed [not included] -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
