This bug was fixed in the package initramfs-tools - 0.125ubuntu1 --------------- initramfs-tools (0.125ubuntu1) yakkety; urgency=medium * Merge with debian 0.125 (LP: #1599915). Remaining delta: - Set takeover=1 in update-initramfs. - Drop hooks/keymap and associated code; console-setup takes care of this in Ubuntu. - Add a new 'fixrtc' script that tries to set the system clock forward based on the last mount time of the root disk; without this kludge, systems without a working RTC will end up in a perpetual reboot loop. - Set hostname at boot, for the benefit of mdadm autoassembly. - Ignore errors from iscan and iscan-data hooks. - Allow scripts and hooks to specify OPTION=VAR, and unless VAR is set to something other than "n", the script will not be included. - Restore the framebuffer hook and script, copying KMS and other framebuffer drivers into the initramfs, but make them optional; you need to set FRAMEBUFFER=y for these to be included. - Add hwaddr= alias for BOOTIF= for compatibility. - When receiving "recovery" on cmdline, start upstart with --startup- event=recovery (LP: #575469) - Make /etc/mtab a symlink to /proc/mounts on startup, since e.g. current ntfs-3g doesn't work otherwise. - Automatically blacklist vga16fb when vga= or video= specified on kernel command-line. - Add Hyper-V paravirtualised device drivers to the initramfs to allow booting of stock images in a Hyper-V guest. (LP: #917135) - Add mountroot failure support, to allow meaningful messages when no root device can be found. - Retain netboot= compatibility option. - Retain cryptopts= compatibility option. - Add vfat modules to the initramfs. - Maintain compatibility with pre- /run configurations - Increase rootdelay to 180s on powerpc/ppc64/ppc64el (LP: #1326199) - fixrtc: wait for udev to settle to expose device symlinks - fixrtc: handle hwclock -s failures safely - fixrtc: support busybox, handle last mount time on system partition, expose fs create time (LP: #1420473) - fixrtc: avoid using xargs, wait-for-root before examining - fixrtc: suppress /dev/ram as a root when using systempart (LP: #1443329) - ppc64el: enable PowerPC NX Crypto Coprocessor - resume: only resume when the partition contains a resume image - resume: announce resume via plymouth if available - Don't load keymaps unless we're loading a framebuffer; but set the keymap before giving a root shell. - Add new initramfs-tools-bin package containing a binary that uses libudev to wait for udev to create the udev device, or wait for udev to finish processing if we catch it in the act, and returns the filesystem type as already probed by udev. - Incorporate rzscontrol from compcache so that we can control current ramzswap devices. - Support loading compcache from the initramfs. - debian/control: update Vcs-* links for Ubuntu. - hook-functions: fix PowerPC NX Crypto Coprocessor support (LP: #1454687) - Drop: Maintain compatibility with pre- /run configurations (LP: #1485752) - Drop: Ignore errors from iscan and iscan-data hooks (LP: #1485562) - add squashfs to list of 'most' modules (LP: #1501834) - drop Breaks: against upstart as we use it in user sessions - support mounting of loopback devices via loop*= parameters - local_device_setup: use wait-for-root if it supports the device alias type - Fix vfat support from initramfs (LP: #1540522) - initramfs-tools-core uses initramfs-tools-bin add dependancy (LP: #1543244) - Add support for uppercase and lowercase uuids. (LP: #1548120) - uuids: busybox tr does not support symbolic ranges expand manually (LP: #1548120) - wait-for-root.c: Drop check if device is queued in udev (LP: #1539195) - uuids: only apply case mapping to RFC#4122 format uuids (LP: #1553107, #1548120) - hooks/framebuffer: Copy kernel/ubuntu/i915 backport driver too. (LP: #1500751) - hook-functions: add hyperv-keyboard for Generation 2 VMs (LP: #1567107) - init: fix redirection for /bin/hostname command - init: drop -b from hostname as it is not supported by busybox - Ensure we have a /usr/sbin directory in initramfs-tools-core initramfs-tools (0.125) unstable; urgency=medium * [74597dd] update-initramfs: Remove $USETRIGGERS variable and condition * [b19d13e] initramfs-tools: Install script to be invoked by linux-signed postinst * [79c0204] mkinitramfs: Fix wildcard for excluding dot-files (Closes: #821346) initramfs-tools (0.124) unstable; urgency=medium * [e05fc3e] hook-functions: Add detached module signatures if present (Closes: #820037) * [99dadac] hook-functions: Create ORDER files even if there are no valid scripts (Closes: #814965) * [57a9f2a] mkinitramfs: Exclude VCS directories when copying /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts * [eff1806] parse_numeric: Do not attempt to canonicalise root device name (Closes: #815555) * [7a820e1] auto_add_modules: Include most USB host drivers (Closes: #762634) * [35751d4] auto_add_modules: Include all bus driver modules initramfs-tools (0.123) unstable; urgency=medium [ Ben Hutchings ] * [3084929] debian/control: Remove redundant dependency on klibc-utils|busybox * [913a861] debian/control: Recommend the right busybox packages for the target distribution * [d4febbd] Remove busybox hook in favour of busybox's own (Closes: #810154) * [b5303a1] Update TODO for removal of busybox hook * [6cc3d85] hook-functions: Include any modular RTC drivers in the initramfs * [ceff05e] hooks/fsck: Stop setting e2fsck broken_system_clock option (Closes: #804071) * [9c105f0] Assume blkid is always installed, and remove fallbacks * [aaba4cb] hooks/fsck: Use get_fstype rather than blkid to probe filesystem type * [a8ed874] hooks/fsck: Always use get_fstype to probe type of root filesystem (Closes: #767471) * [e798629] Pass filesystem type from /etc/fstab to fsck when checking /usr * [55e075c] hook-functions: Include drivers for all keyboards when MODULES=dep (Closes: #639876) * [704bfa5] scripts/functions: Explicitly load keyboard drivers only at break=top * [c5b54ae] scripts/functions: Use more sensible modprobe options at break=top * [39e90c8] scripts/functions: Load more USB host controllers drivers on break=top * [8c437f5] scripts/functions: Load HID drivers at break=top * [619f2ca] scripts/functions: Connect panic shell to normal tty device (Closes: #512679) * [8b8b28c] hook-functions: Clean up split between dep_add_modules and dep_add_modules_mount * [5f34b94] hook-functions: Include modules for resume partition when MODULES=dep (Closes: #588770) * [31ab487] hook-functions: Stop force-loading drivers found through sysfs when MODULES=dep (Closes: #792910) * [07f2c88] kernel/postinst.d: Make test for update-initramfs consistent with invocation (Closes: #768913) * [e5476bf] copy_file: Skip duplicating symlink if it points to the target file (Closes: #812404) * [d0f4d06] initramfs-tools: Include empty /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d directory (Closes: #809206) * [245d584] initramfs-tools.8: Update list of variables exported to hook scripts * [941429d] initramfs-tools.8: Add a new section for the general description of scripts * [3ff5d57] initramfs-tools.8: Add brief description of configuration hooks and files (Closes: #807527) * [c17a21a] Remove klibc hook in favour of klibc's own * [ea7e02d] bash-completion: Simplify by using _get_comp_words_by_ref * [9e23444] init: Use "case" rather than loop to look for "quiet" parameter * [49e4a05] init: Remove fallback from devtmpfs to tmpfs * [ab91306] init: Take over handling of rootdelay parameter from udev boot script (Closes: #809740) * [56dfe39] bash-completion: Rename our completion script so that it works again * [ac6d31f] mkinitramfs: Delete or report temporary files on failure (Closes: #814345) * [c8c932d] Move initramfs.conf around in maintainer scripts to avoid it being 'obsolete' (Closes: #813229) * [138af73] hook-functions: Dereference links when looking up block device number [ Andy Whitcroft ] * [7774fa3] Don't display "Loading, please wait..." message when 'quiet' is in /proc/cmdline. * [c4ea209] Mount /dev with the default tmpfs size rather than sourcing udev.conf. * [b418ad4] Sync the mount options for /run from /lib/init/fstab (LP: #1152744) * [c44df0c] init: Mount /dev with "nosuid".
