Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.92o Severity: normal Tags: patch
The /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/cryptroot script used with encrypted root does not print debugging information when checks fail. This makes it hard to debug initramfs failures. The following patch adds messages to the LVM section and enabled me to debug issues with legacy lvm on Lenny. --- cryptroot 2009-08-12 09:03:58.000000000 +0100 +++ /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/cryptroot 2009-08-12 09:07:02.000000000 +0100 @@ -124,12 +124,19 @@ vg="${1#/dev/mapper/}" # Sanity checks - if [ ! -x /sbin/lvm ] || [ "$vg" = "$1" ]; then + if [ ! -x /sbin/lvm ]; then + message "lvm is not available" + return 1 + fi + + if [ "$vg" = "$1" ]; then + message "Volume group name collision" return 1 fi # Make sure that the device contains at least one dash if [ "${vg%%-*}" = "$vg" ]; then + message "Expected at least one dash in volumne group device name: $vg" return 1 fi -- Package-specific info: -- /proc/cmdline root=/dev/mapper/thebes-root ro -- /proc/filesystems ext3 -- lsmod Module Size Used by battery 10180 0 ppdev 6500 0 lp 8164 0 acpi_cpufreq 6796 0 cpufreq_powersave 1856 0 cpufreq_stats 3776 0 cpufreq_ondemand 6476 2 cpufreq_conservative 5960 0 cpufreq_userspace 3172 0 freq_table 4224 3 acpi_cpufreq,cpufreq_stats,cpufreq_ondemand ipv6 235364 41 loop 12748 0 parport_pc 22500 1 parport 30988 3 ppdev,lp,parport_pc snd_hda_intel 325688 0 snd_pcm_oss 32832 0 pcspkr 2432 0 snd_mixer_oss 12320 1 snd_pcm_oss iTCO_wdt 9508 0 snd_pcm 62596 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm_oss i2c_i801 7920 0 i2c_core 19828 1 i2c_i801 rng_core 3940 0 snd_seq_dummy 2660 0 snd_seq_oss 24992 0 snd_seq_midi 5728 0 snd_rawmidi 18528 1 snd_seq_midi snd_seq_midi_event 6432 2 snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi snd_seq 41456 6 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_seq_midi_event snd_timer 17800 2 snd_pcm,snd_seq snd_seq_device 6380 5 snd_seq_dummy,snd_seq_oss,snd_seq_midi,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq snd 45604 9 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm_oss,snd_mixer_oss,snd_pcm,snd_seq_oss,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq,snd_timer,snd_seq_device button 6096 0 intel_agp 22556 1 agpgart 28776 1 intel_agp soundcore 6368 1 snd snd_page_alloc 7816 2 snd_hda_intel,snd_pcm evdev 8000 3 ext3 105512 6 jbd 39444 1 ext3 mbcache 7108 1 ext3 sha256_generic 11360 0 aes_i586 7744 2 aes_generic 29256 1 aes_i586 cbc 3264 1 dm_crypt 11172 1 crypto_blkcipher 15236 3 cbc,dm_crypt dm_mirror 15104 0 dm_log 8484 1 dm_mirror dm_snapshot 14340 0 dm_mod 46184 19 dm_crypt,dm_mirror,dm_log,dm_snapshot sd_mod 22200 3 ide_pci_generic 3908 0 [permanent] ata_piix 14180 2 piix 6568 0 [permanent] ide_core 96136 2 ide_pci_generic,piix floppy 47748 0 ata_generic 4676 0 libata 140416 2 ata_piix,ata_generic scsi_mod 129324 2 sd_mod,libata skge 33360 0 dock 8304 1 libata ehci_hcd 28396 0 uhci_hcd 18672 0 usbcore 118224 3 ehci_hcd,uhci_hcd thermal 15228 0 processor 32544 2 acpi_cpufreq,thermal fan 4164 0 thermal_sys 10856 3 thermal,processor,fan -- /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 -- /etc/crypttab sdb5_crypt /dev/disk/by-uuid/3556be3d-b1c5-4db5-89ef-ad69e1d36219 none luks -- System Information: Debian Release: 5.0.2 APT prefers stable APT policy: (500, 'stable') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.26-2-686 (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C (charmap=ANSI_X3.4-1968) 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 0.125-7+lenny1 /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-kernel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
