Public bug reported: With busybox 1.27.2 (18.04 installer system), my kernel command line parameters that contain "/" or "-" are stripped and not in environment, anymore (e.g. keyboard-configuration/modelcode=SKIP). Furthermore, the parameters are not pushed into debconf database by script env2debconf (where I would need them).
I found this already fixed in busybox, here is the commit: https://git.busybox.net/busybox/commit/shell/ash.c?id=9c143ce52da11ec3d21a3491c3749841d3dc10f0 Here is the issue: https://bugs.busybox.net/show_bug.cgi?id=10231 I tested this by patching ash.c (patch is attached), building it and integrated into initrd.gz - works, parameters are in environment, again. It would be fine if this patch could get into busybox package for 18.04. ** Affects: busybox (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Patch added: "environment patch from busybox repository (commit 9c143ce52da11ec3d21a3491c3749841d3dc10f0)" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1736421/+attachment/5018797/+files/ash_environment.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1736421 Title: Linux boot parameters are not taken to busybox environment To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/busybox/+bug/1736421/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
