Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.98.6 Severity: grave Tags: patch Justification: renders package unusable
I just installed Debian (Sid) on my PC and was in for a nasty surprise; the system wouldn't boot after install. I have 2 disks setup in an ICH9R raid set, which devides these 2 disks in 2 arrays; 1 is a RAID0 array, and 1 is a RAID1 array. This is a completely valid configuration for an Intel RAID set. I installed Debian on a LVM setup, using a partition in the RAID0 set as a PV. The /boot partition is also an LV. As I found out, the Intel RAID system works with a "container", which contains the arrays. The container was assembled during boot, but the arrays fail to assemble, giving a "device or resource busy". The problem is almost exactly the same as seen in this URL: http://www.linux-archive.org/debian-user/454103-how- recreate-dmraid-raid-array-mdadm.html I did, however find a different workaround. Removing the /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf and running mdadm -Ss && mdadm -As also assembles the arrays correctly. For people stumbling into the same problem; here are steps to work around this problem: - Wait for the ramdisk to put you in a (initramfs) shell. - mdadm -Ss - rm /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf - mdadm -As - lvm vgscan - vgchange -ay Now, mount the boot partition to a directory, e.g. /root - mount /dev/vgMain/lvBoot /root - mkdir /root/temp - cd /root/temp - gunzip ../<initrd image> | cpio -i - rm etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf - find . | cpio -H newc -o > ../initrd.new - cd .. - gzip -9 initrd.new - cd - umount /root - reboot And use the "edit" option in grub to select /initrd.new.gz as your new initrd image.
