Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.92a
Severity: important
This seems very similar to reported (old) bugs, but it's a change in
behavior for me so I'm opening this new problem to flag it. I recently
updated to version 0.92 (I believe -- a couple days prior to 0.92a,
which also exhibits the problem). Boots using initrds built after that
upgrade do not complete automatically...
scripts/local-top/mdadm runs immediately, without waiting for device
discovery to complete, and of course fails to start anything because the
devices don't exist (usually for about another 30-40 seconds). Then lvm2
can't find anything, and after a timeout I get punted into the shell.
Manual recovery (assuming I sit in front of the system) is easy:
# scripts/local-top/mdadm
# scripts/local-top/lvm2
# exit
But this sucks for unattended reboots, obviously. :-p Maybe I should
blame udev instead, but I don't know how to finger the guilty party.
