initramfs-tools: Add hid-cherry and hid-logitech to initramfs

2010-09-07T10:51:56+00:00

Both a Cherry and a Logitech keyboard I own cannot be used at early boot time unless one also adds the hid-cherry / the hid-logitech module to the initramfs. The attached patch adds those two modules to hook-functions. For the Cherry keyboard, kernels up to 2.6.32-3 are not affected, from 2.6.32-5 (squeeze default) onwards all tested kernels were affected. Didn't do detailed checks for the Logitech keyboard. The used devices that exhibit this problem are: ID 046d:c30a Logitech, Inc. iTouch Composite ID 046a:0023 Cherry GmbH CyMotion Master Linux Keyboard Severity level important, since this makes booting with encrypted root partition impossible using those keyboards.

configure_networking(): Look for presence of /tmp/net-*.conf files

2010-08-25T19:37:22+00:00

when $DEVICE is not set (which is now default), otherwise ipconfig may receive a valid DHCP response, but fails to break out of the loop and is called repeatedly. thanks to Petter Reinholdtsen, i think i've figured out the initramfs-tools portion of this problem (there may still be outstanding issues with ipconfig). tested the attached patch, which seems to address the issue for me at least.

Merge branch 'maks/bootloader'

2010-08-07T13:35:56+00:00

init: provide fastforward path for the common case when validating init binary.

init: provide validate_init() wrapper to support absolute symlinks.

2010-08-07T03:02:05+00:00

If /sbin/init is an absolute symlink (e.g. to /bin/systemd) the readlink check doesn't work as $rootmnt is involved. The validate_init() shell function takes care of this fact, as well as when guessing the init binary points to a directory. For example Ubuntu's upstart has its configuration inside /etc/init whereas this is considered a valid run_init_process() binary by the Linux kernel and `test -x' returns true when checking for executables. Therefore be more conservative with providing full backwards compability as well as new added support for absolute symlinks at the same time. Closes: #590744

update-initramfs: run_bootloader() invoke Initramfs hooks

2010-08-06T22:47:44+00:00

Conform to policy http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-update-hooks.html#s-initramfs-hooks We check that the dir exists to no longer invoke boot loader on our own for squeeze, but work on partial upgrades from lenny. The bootloader invocations can be removed postsqueeze. Signed-off-by: maximilian attems
