Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.92o Silas S. Brown reported to me that his NSLU2 would not boot after regenerating the ramdisk but that my ramdisk worked for me. In the end, he figured out that the problem is related to MODULES=dep.
Consider this scenario: you have an ext3 filesystem on the disk but you change /etc/fstab to mount it as ext2 in order to reduce wear on the USB flash drive. When you regenerate the image, the ext2 module will be put in the ramdisk, but when initramfs runs it will find FSTYPE=ext3 and try to mount the disk as ext3. This fails because that module is not available. I think initramfs-tools should fall-back to using ext2 if that module is available when it finds FSTYPE=ext3. -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
