Package: klibc-utils
Version: 1.5.9-1
Severity: normal
File: run-init
When run-init fails to nuke the initramfs (old root) it exits causing a
kernel panic. Although this is an error it should not cause the system
to be unbootable.
I suspect the root of the failure is that nuke cannot cope with file
mounts (single files mounted, not directories). These are the result of
using fuse to get to the root filesystem (httpfs, curlftpfs).
Thanks
Michal
