Well, i am planing another kernel-package upload where you can force the thing. That said, yes, the fix is in the kernel svn, but they maintain initramfs in bazaar or something. Maybe you can just apply the patch above to your installed copy of initramfs-tools, or grab it from SVN or something. Alternatively, please help bringing evms support to yaird, so you can use that one, i have some doubts about depending on a packages whose maintainers don't really cooperate with the kernel team, and then claim i don't communicate about the issue, but then i guess we have many other packages in this case in the archive :) > An svn url leaved here should be enough for the impatient following the BTS. svn://svn.debian.org/svn/kernel/dists/trunk/utils/initramfs-tools, i think. From memory though, so maybe typoed. Friendly, Sven Luther -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
