Change logs for initramfs-tools source package in Natty

  • initramfs-tools (0.98.8ubuntu3.1) natty-proposed; urgency=low
    
      * Rename xhci to xhci-hcd to fix booting from USB 3.0 devices
        (cherry-picked fix from Debian bug #625224). (LP: #565047)
     -- Evan Broder <email address hidden>   Wed, 08 Jun 2011 09:46:20 -0700
  • initramfs-tools (0.98.8ubuntu3) natty; urgency=low
    
      * If copy_exec finds libraries to copy which are only accessible to the
        runtime linker by virtue of being listed in /etc/ld.so.conf*, then
        install those libraries to /lib or /usr/lib as appropriate instead
        (LP: #728611).

  • initramfs-tools (0.98.8ubuntu2) natty; urgency=low
    
      * Restore bnx2 to the initramfs; firmware loading should work these days,
        and lots of other modules need firmware.  Suggested by maximilian
        attems.

  • initramfs-tools (0.98.8ubuntu1) natty; urgency=low
    
      * Resynchronise with Debian.  Remaining changes:
        - Use busybox-initramfs for Depends.
        - Mount /dev with the default tmpfs size rather than sourcing udev.conf.
        - Set takeover=1 in update-initramfs.
        - Allow the mounting of a root filesystem as a loop device on top of a
          host filesystem, used for Wubi installs.
        - Add vfat support to the initramfs.
        - Add 2>&1 to the run-init line.
        - Add mountroot failure support, to allow meaningful messages when no
          root device can be found.
        - 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.
        - Ignore blacklist for forced vga= usage.
        - Loop for 5 seconds waiting for $suspend to show up, adjustable with
          the resumedelay= command-line arg.
        - Allow for alternative PREREQS to be specified using | as the
          separator.
        - Support loading compcache from the initramfs.
        - Remove klibc utilities if busybox is in use.
        - Revert "framebuffer: Let udev create fb devices."  udev isn't started
          at this point and therefore can't create framebuffer devices.
        - Create /dev/mem and /dev/zero if video=uvesafb.
        - Add hid_* modules, since some keyboards will not be usable at the
          initramfs/busybox prompt without them.
        - Replace all instances of vol_id with blkid, and depend on util-linux.
        - Use gzip from busybox instead of klibc.  Depend on busybox-initramfs
          (>= 1:1.13.3-1ubuntu5) to ensure that we have it.
        - Remove bnx2 from the initramfs; it needs firmware, and at this stage
          we only support network modules that don't need firmware loading.
        - Don't display "Loading, please wait..." message when 'quiet' is in
          /proc/cmdline.
        - 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.
        - Depend on a sufficient version of udev to load fbcon.
        - 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.  Use it while mounting
          local root filesystems and while resuming.
        - Add hwaddr= alias for BOOTIF= for compatibility.
        - Allow specifying multiple break points using a comma delimiter.
        - Automatically blacklist vga16fb when vga= or video= specified on
          kernel command-line.
        - Call 'plymouth message' before resuming, to notify the user of the
          reason for the delay if the plymouth theme supports it.
        - 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.
        - Drop hooks/keymap and associated code; console-setup takes care of
          this in Ubuntu.
        - Incorporate rzscontrol from compcache so that we can control current
          ramzswap devices.
        - Call 'plymouth hide-splash' before running failure hooks.
        - Make /etc/mtab a symlink to /proc/mounts on startup, since e.g.
          current ntfs-3g doesn't work otherwise.
        - Ignore errors from iscan and iscan-data hooks.
        - Set hostname at boot, for the benefit of mdadm autoassembly.
        - If root= is numeric, set ROOT to /dev/block/N:N rather than /dev/root.
        - Consolidate framebuffer calls to 'udevadm settle'.

      * mdadm autoassembly works by matching hostname with what is stored in the
        uuid bits of the array. So hostname needs to be set at boot time for the
        rootfs to be mounted, when the rootfs is on an array which has to be
        auto-assembled. Added support for setting the hostname. (LP: #330399)
