This bug was fixed in the package initramfs-tools - 0.120ubuntu1 --------------- initramfs-tools (0.120ubuntu1) wily; urgency=medium * Merge from debian, remaining changes (up to 0.103ubuntu15): - Drop hooks/keymap and associated code; console-setup takes care of this in Ubuntu. - Set takeover=1 in update-initramfs. - Support loading compcache from the initramfs. - 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. - Don't display "Loading, please wait..." message when 'quiet' is in /proc/cmdline. - Ignore errors from iscan and iscan-data hooks. - Allow specifying multiple break points using a comma delimiter. - 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. - Don't load keymaps unless we're loading a framebuffer; but set the keymap before giving a root shell. - Add hwaddr= alias for BOOTIF= for compatibility. - Add 2>&1 to the run-init line. - 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. - Mount /dev with the default tmpfs size rather than sourcing udev.conf. - 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) - Allow for alternative PREREQS to be specified using | as the separator. - Add mountroot failure support, to allow meaningful messages when no root device can be found. - Retain netboot= compatibility option. - Add panic hook support. - Breaks: mountall (<< 2.0~) - Retain cryptopts= compatibility option. - Use busybox-initramfs for Depends. - 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. - Replace all instances of vol_id with blkid, and depend on util-linux. - Add vfat modules to the initramfs. - Maintain compatibility with pre- /run configurations - Remove klibc utilities if busybox is in use. - Use gzip from busybox instead of klibc. Depend on busybox-initramfs (>= 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu5) to ensure that we have it. - Loop for 5 seconds waiting for $resume to show up, adjustable with the resumedelay= command-line arg. - Call 'plymouth message' before resuming, to notify the user of the reason for the delay if the plymouth theme supports it. - Fix major/minor handling. - Allow the mounting of a root filesystem as a loop device on top of a host filesystem, used for Wubi installs. Panic if either the root device doesn't exist, or blkid cannot identify it. Allows for mountroot failure hooks for md devices to be displayed. - Sync the mount options for /run from /lib/init/fstab. LP: #1152744 - When copying firmware, don't use copy_exec; running ldd on random firmware files is annoying and, if libc-x32 is installed, may cause crashes due to lack of kernel support. LP: #1115875 - update maintainers - When adding i8042 also add psmouse as some keyboards are behind the mouse. LP: #1314764 - Create /bin/egrep -> busybox symlink. LP: #1315755 - Increase rootdelay to 180s on powerpc/ppc64/ppc64el (LP: #1326199) - add readlink symlink for busybox (LP: #1351295) - 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 - busybox: add chroot "binary" for busybox (LP: #1421117) - fixrtc: suppress /dev/ram as a root when using systempart (LP: #1443329) - hook-functions: Add nx-* and 842-* modules in order to enable PowerPC NX Crypto Coprocessor.
