Public bug reported: The /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions contains what appears to be a variable name update (from root to dev_node) error. It appears that one instance of root was not updated correctly; this causes mkinitramfs to fail with the error:
mkinitramfs: for device /dev/vda1 missing vda1 /sys/block/ entry mkinitramfs: workaround is MODULES=most mkinitramfs: Error please report the bug A trivial patch that appears to resolve this is attached.
