2014-12-17 09:35:59 Michael Neuffer description The error occured which the update last Saturday or Sunday. (Re-)Building an initrd results in unusable initrds Checking the directory shows that there is not a single module included in the archive. The initrd itself is much smaller as a first visual indication. Booting a kernel with such an initrd strands the machine in the initrd busybox with almost no available devices (due to the missing kernel modules) No kernel modules: neuffer@charion:/tmp/mkinitramfs_kDABiK/lib/modules/3.16.0-28-generic$ ls -la total 208 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 260 Dez 17 10:04 . drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 60 Dez 17 10:04 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 45 Dez 17 10:04 modules.alias -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12 Dez 17 10:04 modules.alias.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 6299 Dez 12 19:38 modules.builtin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 8273 Dez 17 10:04 modules.builtin.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Dez 17 10:04 modules.dep -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12 Dez 17 10:04 modules.dep.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 52 Dez 17 10:04 modules.devname -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 162124 Dez 12 19:38 modules.order -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 55 Dez 17 10:04 modules.softdep -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 49 Dez 17 10:04 modules.symbols -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 12 Dez 17 10:04 modules.symbols.bin neuffer@charion:/tmp/mkinitramfs_kDABiK/lib/modules/3.16.0-28-generic$ euffer@charion:/tmp/mkinitramfs_kDABiK/lib/modules/3.16.0-28-generic$ ls -la /boot total 120356 drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Dez 17 10:06 . drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4096 Dez 16 20:07 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1206876 Sep 28 09:41 abi-3.16.0-17-generic-working -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1207195 Dez 1 20:59 abi-3.16.0-26-generic -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1207195 Dez 12 19:38 abi-3.16.0-28-generic -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 31075053 Dez 16 10:21 ba.initrd.img-3.16.0-17-generic-working -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 171664 Sep 28 09:41 config-3.16.0-17-generic-working -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 171760 Dez 1 20:59 config-3.16.0-26-generic -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 171760 Dez 12 19:38 config-3.16.0-28-generic drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4096 Dez 16 20:08 grub -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 31075053 Sep 28 09:41 initrd.img-3.16.0-17-generic-working -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 15158157 Dez 16 20:08 initrd.img-3.16.0-26-generic -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 11293654 Dez 17 09:33 initrd.img-3.16.0-28-generic drwx------ 2 root root 16384 Mai 30 2014 lost+found -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 176500 Mär 12 2014 memtest86+.bin -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 178176 Mär 12 2014 memtest86+.elf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 178680 Mär 12 2014 memtest86+_multiboot.bin -rw------- 1 root root 3498250 Sep 28 09:41 System.map-3.16.0-17-generic-working -rw------- 1 root root 3500830 Dez 1 20:59 System.map-3.16.0-26-generic -rw------- 1 root root 3500841 Dez 12 19:38 System.map-3.16.0-28-generic -rw------- 1 root root 6399936 Sep 28 09:41 vmlinuz-3.16.0-17-generic-working -rw------- 1 root root 6407488 Dez 1 20:59 vmlinuz-3.16.0-26-generic -rw------- 1 root root 6406800 Dez 12 19:38 vmlinuz-3.16.0-28-generic neuffer@charion:/tmp/mkinitramfs_kDABiK/lib/modules/3.16.0-28-generic$ ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 15.04 Package: initramfs-tools 0.103ubuntu8 [modified: usr/sbin/mkinitramfs] ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.16.0-17.23-generic 3.16.3 Uname: Linux 3.16.0-17-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: btrfs xor raid6_pq hid_generic usbhid hid dm_crypt crct10dif_pclmul crc32_pclmul ghash_clmulni_intel aesni_intel aes_x86_64 lrw gf128mul glue_helper ablk_helper cryptd psmouse e1000e ahci libahci ptp sdhci_pci pps_core sdhci_acpi video sdhci ApportVersion: 2.15-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 CurrentDesktop: XFCE Date: Wed Dec 17 10:20:06 2014 InstallationDate: Installed on 2014-05-30 (201 days ago) InstallationMedia: Xubuntu 14.04 LTS "Trusty Tahr" - Release amd64 (20140416.2) PackageArchitecture: all SourcePackage: initramfs-tools UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) The error occured which the update last Saturday or Sunday.
