** Description changed: Binary package hint: initramfs-tools Loopfiles inside of vfat cannot be remounted rw. This preventfs people from booting off loopinstallations in vfat. At the moment there is an exception in scripts/local to mount ntfs filesystems rw by default since those too cannot be remounted (bug #186117). It might be necessary to extend the treatment to all loopinstalation filesystems. Following are some of my experiments, not sure if there is some other way to be able - to remount the host/loopfile. + to remount the host/loopfile using a Gutsy box (will replicate them on + Hardy soon).
