Argh. Indeed, a boot hang could/would happen should you get exec failures on the ORDER files that are *inside* the initramfs, i.e. if the file reported as not being executable was something like this: /var/tmp/mkinitramfs_########/scripts/local-block/ORDER (and yes, it is /var/tmp and not /tmp as I said... My recollection of this very obscure issue was slightly corrupted by time :-( ) I failed to notice the path on the ORDER files it was reporting as not being able to execute, I apologize for that. -- Henrique de Moraes Holschuh <h...@debian.org>
