Actually "Bootloader-sets-root" has a different meaning here. When it's set to yes, it means the initrd should replace the rootfs param provided by the kernel, and when it's no, it's just providing a default one (in case there's no rootfs argument at the kernel, which is not the case for Ubuntu at the moment).
Follows a better patch, which avoid breaking the update-initramfs process in case there's no fstab (unless it's required, with the bootloader-sets-root as yes), and skipping if not needed (but it still tries to provide a default, which is harmless). I also added the support for FLASH_KERNEL_SKIP which can be used in case you don't want/need to run the initramfs scripts for flash-kernel. ** Patch added: "flash-kernel_3.0~rc.4ubuntu19.debdiff" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flash-kernel/+bug/1034734/+attachment/3255629/+files/flash-kernel_3.0%7Erc.4ubuntu19.debdiff -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1034734 Title: flash-kernel shouldn't prompt the user when updating initramfs in case there's no valid /etc/fstab To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flash-kernel/+bug/1034734/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
