Now I'm lost. update-initramfs calls mkinitramfs which refreshes the initramfs, calling /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/* . And /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hooks/mdev makes a stub /etc/passwd and copies /etc/group almost first thing. So in theory, that should not happen. I'm wondering what 'lsinitramfs /initrd.img' says is there--especially the contents of /etc, /sbin, and /scripts/, and what you get if you add a "mkinitramfs was here" type message to both ends of the mdev hook. I seem to recall there's some shell option you can set that shows the commands being run a la DOS ECHO on, but don't remember what it is. Setting that in the mdev hook then running update-initramfs -u may be the most useful approach. Also, is this Jessie or Sid (I used Jessie)? And does it work if you uninstall udev but don't purge it (which I believe is what I did)?
