severity 273182 critical merge 273182 294404 tags 294404 = patch confirmed pending tags 301560 = patch confirmed pending thanks
Okay, Steve's config.c patch in addition to Marco's suggestion appear to solve this bug. Attached is the final patch for an NMU. I have tested this only on VMware (but with SCSI, so modules are being used, but via initrd), and not using a RAID-on-root. Anyway, RAID-on-root pivot happens way before init, so it would not make a difference anyway (and RAID-on-root just won't work for now). I will now post a testers-sought message to debian-devel so that we can verify that the three bugs are fixed. NMU packages are available from deb http://debian.madduck.net ~madduck/packages/nmu/mdadm/ deb-src http://debian.madduck.net ~madduck/packages/nmu/mdadm/ -- .''`. martin f. krafft <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> : :' : proud Debian developer, admin, user, and author `. `'` `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing a system Invalid/expired PGP subkeys?
