Package: initramfs-tools Version: 0.109 Severity: critical Justification: breaks the whole system
Dear Maintainer, I have a usb keyboard attached to a system with an unencrypted /boot and a LUKS-encrypted partition (LVM physical volume) containing the other filesystems. Today I installed linux-image-3.8-trunk-amd64 (3.8-1~experimental.1). initramfs-tools created a corresponding initrd, as expected. Booting this kernel/initrd in grub2 resulted in a plymouth passphrase entry screen, but a usb keyboard that did not work in any port. All keyboard lights were off. The system was thus unbootable without a non-usb keyboard (hence critical severity). Without a non-usb keyboard or backup grub entry (3.7 kernel with working initrd), I would have been unable to access my system without rescue media. This is a regression from the behaviour of initramfs-tools with linux-image-3.7 -trunk-amd64 (3.7.8-1~experimental.1). The failure appears identical to this: http://linux-kernel.2935.n7.nabble.com/PROBLEM-3-8-0-rc4-keyboard-failure-at- boot-tp585937p587518.html Workaround is to add the following modules to /etc/initramfs-tools/modules, as described in the link above: ehci_pci usbcore usb_common xhci_hcd uhci_hcd ehci_hcd ohci_hcd usbhid hid_generic Once these lines were added, I ran "update-initramfs -u", was able to boot linux-image-3.8-trunk-amd64 with the new initrd, successfully enter my passphrase at the plymouth prompt with a usb keyboard, and the system booted normally. See also #639876. This report differs in that I have MODULES=most. And this is critical not wishlist. -- Package-specific info: -- initramfs sizes -- /proc/cmdline BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-3.8-trunk-amd64 root=/dev/mapper/vg-root ro quiet splash -- /proc/filesystems ext4 fuseblk -- lsmod Module Size Used by cpufreq_conservative 13225 0 cpufreq_stats 12866 0 cpufreq_powersave 12454 0 cpufreq_userspace 12576 0 ppdev 12763 0 lp 17160 0 ip6t_REJECT 12512 2 nf_conntrack_ipv6 13649 1 nf_defrag_ipv6 12885 1 nf_conntrack_ipv6 ip6table_filter 12540 1 ip6_tables 22011 1 ip6table_filter ipt_REJECT 12502 2 xt_tcpudp 12570 1 nf_conntrack_ipv4 18549 2 nf_defrag_ipv4 12483 1 nf_conntrack_ipv4 uinput 17478 1 xt_conntrack 12681 3 nf_conntrack 58420 3 xt_conntrack,nf_conntrack_ipv4,nf_conntrack_ipv6 iptable_filter 12536 1 ip_tables 21997 1 iptable_filter x_tables 19041 8 ip6table_filter,ip_tables,xt_tcpudp,xt_conntrack,iptable_filter,ipt_REJECT,ip6_tables,ip6t_REJECT loop 22908 0 fuse 62705 3 acpi_cpufreq 13354 0 mperf 12453 1 acpi_cpufreq arc4 12543 2 iwldvm 111692 0 mac80211 371723 1 iwldvm snd_hda_codec_hdmi 31479 1 snd_hda_codec_idt 53750 1 iTCO_wdt 12831 0 iTCO_vendor_support 12704 1 iTCO_wdt snd_usb_audio 105940 1 snd_usbmidi_lib 23337 1 snd_usb_audio snd_hda_intel 31301 3 snd_seq_midi 12848 0 snd_seq_midi_event 13316 1 snd_seq_midi snd_hda_codec 88441 3 snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_codec_idt,snd_hda_intel snd_rawmidi 23034 2 snd_usbmidi_lib,snd_seq_midi snd_hwdep 13189 2 snd_usb_audio,snd_hda_codec snd_pcm 68523 4 snd_usb_audio,snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel snd_page_alloc 13018 2 snd_pcm,snd_hda_intel uvcvideo 70803 0 snd_seq 45225 2 snd_seq_midi_event,snd_seq_midi iwlwifi 64362 1 iwldvm videobuf2_vmalloc 12860 1 uvcvideo coretemp 12854 0 snd_seq_device 13176 3 snd_seq,snd_rawmidi,snd_seq_midi videobuf2_memops 12519 1 videobuf2_vmalloc snd_timer 22812 2 snd_pcm,snd_seq videobuf2_core 31098 1 uvcvideo kvm_intel 118327 0 videodev 92117 2 uvcvideo,videobuf2_core dell_wmi 12477 0 sparse_keymap 12760 1 dell_wmi dell_laptop 16779 0 snd 53077 20 snd_usb_audio,snd_hwdep,snd_timer,snd_hda_codec_hdmi,snd_hda_codec_idt,snd_pcm,snd_seq,snd_rawmidi,snd_usbmidi_lib,snd_hda_codec,snd_hda_intel,snd_seq_device media 18184 2 uvcvideo,videodev kvm 319005 1 kvm_intel dcdbas 13307 1 dell_laptop soundcore 13026 1 snd psmouse 69190 0 joydev 17317 0 serio_raw 12940 0 cfg80211 352039 3 iwlwifi,mac80211,iwldvm i2c_i801 17045 0 parport_pc 22409 0 parport 31901 3 lp,ppdev,parport_pc lpc_ich 16757 0 rfkill 19166 1 cfg80211 mei 32175 0 mfd_core 12601 1 lpc_ich evdev 17650 31 battery 13146 0 ac 12624 0 processor 28362 1 acpi_cpufreq ext4 396134 3 crc16 12343 1 ext4 jbd2 71860 1 ext4 mbcache 13114 1 ext4 dm_crypt 18372 1 dm_mod 64083 9 dm_crypt hid_generic 12385 0 usbhid 40792 0 hid 81770 2 hid_generic,usbhid ohci_hcd 26678 0 uhci_hcd 26976 0 sg 26095 0 sd_mod 40549 3 crc_t10dif 12348 1 sd_mod crc32c_intel 21850 0 ghash_clmulni_intel 13062 0 ahci 25060 2 aesni_intel 50746 2 libahci 22918 1 ahci aes_x86_64 16843 1 aesni_intel ablk_helper 12572 1 aesni_intel cryptd 14560 4 ghash_clmulni_intel,aesni_intel,ablk_helper xts 12722 1 aesni_intel libata 141644 2 ahci,libahci lrw 12871 1 aesni_intel gf128mul 13047 2 lrw,xts scsi_mod 162472 3 sg,libata,sd_mod microcode 30456 0 thermal 17425 0 wmi 13243 1 dell_wmi e1000e 134511 0 ehci_pci 12472 0 ehci_hcd 40420 1 ehci_pci i915 472412 2 video 17686 1 i915 i2c_algo_bit 12841 1 i915 drm_kms_helper 31890 1 i915 drm 202268 3 i915,drm_kms_helper i2c_core 24041 6 drm,i915,i2c_i801,drm_kms_helper,i2c_algo_bit,videodev xhci_hcd 78158 0 thermal_sys 22833 3 video,thermal,processor usbcore 134217 9 uhci_hcd,snd_usb_audio,uvcvideo,ohci_hcd,snd_usbmidi_lib,ehci_hcd,ehci_pci,usbhid,xhci_hcd usb_common 12354 1 usbcore button 12944 1 i915 -- /etc/initramfs-tools/modules ehci_pci usbcore usb_common xhci_hcd uhci_hcd ehci_hcd ohci_hcd usbhid hid_generic -- /etc/kernel-img.conf #
