Package: systemd
Version: 258-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: [email protected]
Dear Maintainer,
The Dracut 12-uefi and 43-kernel-install test cases fail. dracut-core
ships /usr/lib/kernel/install.d/50-dracut.install which generates an
initrd in KERNEL_INSTALL_STAGING_AREA.
/usr/lib/kernel/install.d/55-initrd.install (coming from
debian/extra/kernel-install.d/55-initrd.install) then links to the
initrd in /boot. This results in two initrd being included in the UKI
and the content of later one overwrites the former one.
Please modify debian/extra/kernel-install.d/55-initrd.install to check
for the presence of an initrd in KERNEL_INSTALL_STAGING_AREA before
linking to the initrd in /boot.
For debugging I created /usr/lib/kernel/install.d/57-debug.install with
following content:
```
#!/bin/sh
echo "==================================================================="
echo KERNEL_INSTALL_STAGING_AREA:
ls -lh "$KERNEL_INSTALL_STAGING_AREA"
echo "===================================================================="
```
Then the `kernel-install add -v "$KVERSION" "$KIMAGE"` call contained this
log output:
```
KERNEL_INSTALL_STAGING_AREA:
-rw------- 1 root root 25M Oct 7 15:18 initrd
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 35 Oct 7 15:18 initrd.img-6.16.9+deb14-amd64 ->
/boot/initrd.img-6.16.9+deb14-amd64
```

[ Nick Rosbrook ]
* kernel-install: skip 55-initrd.install when an initrd generator is
configured. This provides a way to avoid conflicts with initrd
generators using kernel-install like dracut. E.g., dracut can now: 1.
Ship /usr/lib/kernel/install.conf.d/50-dracut.conf with at least
initrd_generator=dracut 2. Skip its own scripts unless
$KERNEL_INSTALL_INITRD_GENERATOR=dracut (Closes: #1117563)
* d/t/boot-and-services: tweak test_rsyslog regex
* d/t/boot-and-services: run transient unit to check syslog messages
* d/t/boot-and-services: skip apparmor test on armhf
* d/rules: enable 10-systemd-logind-root-ignore-inhibitors.rules.example
on Ubuntu
* kernel-install: skip 55-initrd.install when an initrd is already
staged. Unfortunately, dracut upstream does not think it makes sense
to ship an install.conf.d drop-in to set initrd_generator=dracut, so
we need to cope with situations where an initrd is already present in
the staging area. See https://github.com/dracut-ng/dracut-ng/pull/1812
(Closes: #1117563)
.
[ Luca Boccassi ]
* Update upstream source from tag 'upstream/259_rc1' Update to upstream
version '259~rc1' with Debian dir
ffbb3991599b616b38161a464c0428f8aec93869
* Drop patches, all merged upstream
* Install new files for v259~rc1
* Update symbols file for v259~rc1
.
[ Frank Heimes ]
* initramfs-tools: only skip chzdev rules if zdev_early=0
