Title:
mkinitramfs handles errors very badly due to use of
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/functions
Status in initramfs-tools package in Ubuntu:
Expired
Bug description:
Binary package hint: initramfs-tools
mkinitramfs uses /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/functions for
handling certain tasks. Errors that occur in those functions cause
the panic function to be called. This launches an interactive shell
that steals /dev/console. If this occurs when the user is running X,
the keyboard stops working. This is rather unpleasant.
To trigger the bug, try adding a hook with a hyphen in the filename
(i.e. /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/foo-bar-baz).
