Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.99
Severity: grave
As stated in this thread
http://lists.debian.org/debian-ia64/2011/08/msg00001.html, Debian
"Wheezy" Testing cannot be booted at all on IA-64 (current
linux-image-3.0.0-1-mckinley in Testing depends on initramfs-tools
0.99, so initramfs-tools cannot be downgraded to previously working
0.98.8). Hence severity set to grave. Last message displayed on
console is:
[ 17.146492] Freeing unused kernel memory: 1024kB freed
Loading, please wait...
And then, nothing.
Regression has been bisected to commit
8f8299d9ba017d2a5af853a52be37ee50c89fac2 (mkinitramfs: copy over on
build instead of using symlink tree) from maximilian attems,
2011-02-21 (initramfs-tools v0.99 development cycle).
Comparison of last good and first bad generated initrd.img ramdisks show that:
- good one has bin/busybox and bin/sh, bin/sh being a soft link on
bin/busybox and size of bin/busybox matching size of system
/bin/busybox (1320720 bytes)
- bad one has no bin/busybox, only bin/sh (executable, not a link) but
size (199144 bytes) doesn't match size of system /bin/busybox (1320720
bytes). Indeed, analyzing hook-functions and hooks/busybox source
code, it's my understanding that bin/sh should be a copy of system
/bin/busybox and thus should have the same size, right? I don't know
where this 199144 bytes executable comes from.
Applying patch proposed in bug #628374 (initramfs-tools: Recent
changes to hooks break busybox in initrd) to revert changes on busybox
hook doesn't help.
Simply reverting commit 8f8299d9ba017d2a5af853a52be37ee50c89fac2 from
initramfs-tools v0.99 source code doesn't help either as resulting
initramfs-tools binaries generate initrd.img failing to boot system
with kernel panic, probably because of
post-8f8299d9ba017d2a5af853a52be37ee50c89fac2 commits.
The problem is still present in current initramfs-tools git repository.

Description:
initramfs-tools - generic modular initramfs generator
Changes:
initramfs-tools (0.107) unstable; urgency=low
.
[ Michal Suchanek ]
* initramfs-tools: copy_exec quote ${src}
* initramfs-tools: copy_exec add pattern for nonoptimized multiarch
libraries (Closes: #659752)
.
[ Vagrant Cascadian ]
* initramfs-tools Don't override root=/dev/nfs by BOOT=local config
(Closes: #677157)
.
[ Adam Conrad ]
* hooks/klibc: Make us play more nicely with busybox and static bin/sh
(Closes: #638068)
* Kernel versions aren't (necessarily) package versions, so redirect
the whining from dpkg --compare-versions to /dev/null to avoid scary
(and incorrect) warnings. (LP: #889584)
