Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.56 Severity: grave After upgrading from initramfs-tools 0.55b to 0.56 my 2.6.15-1-686-smp system would no longer boot, and drop me into a busybox shell. Among the boot messages busybox had printed a help message for mknod (at a glance identical to the output of 'busybox mknod' on a working system) suggesting that initramfs-tools had tried to use mknod in a way not supported by busybox 1.01-4.
After a boot into 2.6.14-2-686-smp (my backup boot option), a downgrade to 0.55b and regenerating my /boot/initrd.img-2.6.16-1-smp file the system booted just fine again. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/bash Kernel: Linux 2.6.15-1-686-smp Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Versions of packages initramfs-tools depends on: ii busybox 1:1.01-4 Tiny utilities for small and embed ii cpio 2.6-11 GNU cpio -- a program to manage ar ii klibc-utils 1.2.4-1 small statically-linked utilities ii udev 0.087-2 /dev/ and hotplug management daemo initramfs-tools recommends no packages. -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
