Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.92o Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
When there is too little space on /tmp (such as when overflow tmp is mounted by initscripts) and an initramfs update is triggered (such as by upgrading udev) initramfs-tools not only fails to build a working initramfs, it also installs a broken initramfs rendering the system unbootable under some circumstances (having only one kernel and using a boot loader which is not configurable at boot time). -- Package-specific info: -- /proc/cmdline root=/dev/mapper/nc4010-root ro video=radeonfb -- /proc/filesystems ext3 -- lsmod Module Size Used by binfmt_misc 7596 1 acpi_cpufreq 8104 0 cpufreq_conservative 6780 0 cpufreq_userspace 2944 0 cpufreq_stats 3868 0 cpufreq_powersave 1408 0 lm90 14132 0 loop 14268 0 snd_ali5451 17616 0 snd_ac97_codec 99668 1 snd_ali5451 arc4 1712 2 ac97_bus 1628 1 snd_ac97_codec snd_pcm_oss 35316 0 snd_mixer_oss 13528 1 snd_pcm_oss ecb 2724 2 snd_pcm 69984 3 snd_ali5451,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss snd_seq_midi 6096 0 snd_rawmidi 20452 1 snd_seq_midi snd_seq_midi_event 6992 1 snd_seq_midi snd_seq 47960 2 snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event joydev 9252 0 snd_timer 19000 2 snd_pcm,snd_seq snd_seq_device 6780 3 snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq video 19856 0 output 2872 1 video container 3460 0 wmi 6680 0 snd 54440 9 snd_ali5451,snd_ac97_codec,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device processor 36760 2 acpi_cpufreq battery 6348 0 ac 3124 0 button 5488 0 ath5k 115672 0 mac80211 136172 1 ath5k led_class 4236 1 ath5k ath 7612 1 ath5k i2c_ali15x3 5928 0 pcmcia 26196 0 soundcore 6844 1 snd serio_raw 5108 0 btusb 11120 0 snd_page_alloc 8644 1 snd_pcm ati_agp 6632 1 parport_pc 23704 0 yenta_socket 22736 2 rsrc_nonstatic 10616 1 yenta_socket i2c_ali1535 5400 0 shpchp 28744 0 evdev 8832 10 pcspkr 2428 0 psmouse 41076 0 parport 33408 1 parport_pc bluetooth 52832 1 btusb agpgart 33088 1 ati_agp pci_hotplug 25820 1 shpchp pcmcia_core 34464 3 pcmcia,yenta_socket,rsrc_nonstatic cfg80211 83760 3 ath5k,mac80211,ath rfkill 18660 2 bluetooth,cfg80211 ext3 115288 3 jbd 45192 1 ext3 mbcache 7488 1 ext3 dm_mirror 13584 0 dm_region_hash 11508 1 dm_mirror dm_log 9500 2 dm_mirror,dm_region_hash dm_snapshot 23856 0 dm_mod 65432 12 dm_mirror,dm_log,dm_snapshot ide_gd_mod 23000 3 ata_generic 4500 0 libata 162920 1 ata_generic scsi_mod 143032 1 libata ide_pci_generic 3784 0 ehci_hcd 32476 0 ohci_hcd 21240 0 tg3 96972 0 alim15x3 6776 3 libphy 23160 1 tg3 usbcore 141112 4 btusb,ehci_hcd,ohci_hcd nls_base 7188 1 usbcore ide_core 97660 3 ide_gd_mod,ide_pci_generic,alim15x3 thermal 13720 0 fan 4460 0 thermal_sys 14396 4 video,processor,thermal,fan radeonfb 59072 1 fb_ddc 1988 1 radeonfb i2c_algo_bit 5428 1 radeonfb i2c_core 21744 6 lm90,i2c_ali15x3,i2c_ali1535,radeonfb,fb_ddc,i2c_algo_bit -- /etc/kernel-img.conf # Kernel image management overrides # See kernel-img.conf(5) for details do_symlinks = yes relative_links = yes do_bootloader = no do_bootfloppy = no do_initrd = yes link_in_boot = no postinst_hook = update-grub postrm_hook = update-grub -- /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf MODULES=most BUSYBOX=y KEYMAP=n BOOT=local DEVICE=eth0 NFSROOT=auto -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.3 APT prefers stable APT policy: (990, 'stable'), (600, 'testing'), (500, 'oldstable'), (500, 'unstable'), (110, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.31-1-686 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Versions of packages initramfs-tools depends on: ii cpio 2.9-13 GNU cpio -- a program to manage ar ii findutils 4.4.0-2 utilities for finding files--find, ii klibc-utils 1.5.12-2 small utilities built with klibc f ii module-init-tools 3.4-1 tools for managing Linux kernel mo ii udev 150-2 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo Versions of packages initramfs-tools recommends: ii busybox 1:1.10.2-2 Tiny utilities for small and embed initramfs-tools suggests no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-rc-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
