Public bug reported: Binary package hint: initramfs-tools
upgrading 9.04 to 9.10 initrd fails with "/scripts/init-top/brltty: 19: grep: not found" see: http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-...@uni-koeln.de/msg02954.html also countless forum discussions. it turns out that /usr/sbin/mkinitramfs has the following hardcoded: # BUSYBOXDIR="/usr/lib/initramfs-tools/bin/" BUSYBOXDIR="/bin" reversing this to BUSYBOXDIR="/usr/lib/initramfs-tools/bin/" # BUSYBOXDIR="/bin" allows a working initrd to be made. A better solution may be: test -e /bin/busybox && BUSYBOXDIR=/bin test -e /usr/lib/initramfs-tools/bin/busybox && BUSYBOXDIR=/usr/lib/initramfs-tools/bin which favours the initramfs version ** Affects: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: boot busybox initrd -- mkinitramfs doesn't use busybox-initramfs and builds unuseable initrd https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/573282 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
