configure_networking(): work with empty DEVICE string

2010-04-10T13:57:30+00:00

initramfs-tools currently requires a device to be hard-coded, but this is not much use if the network device is not known ahead of time. If the device specified in either /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf or on the ip=xxx kernel command line. usefull for multiple net devices.

mkinitramfs: add LZO support

2010-04-09T13:32:12+00:00

Albin Tonnerre sent a patch fixing the initramfs LZO decompression, so heres my fix for initramfs-tools to have compete compression support. Tell me if you want me to open a new bugreport. On a side note: this will only work with a patched kernel (might be upstream with 2.6.34), its a good idea to include a warning for those running 2.6.33 from experimental [ adding it on TODO of Lenny linux-2.6 2.6.32 ] Signed-off-by: maximilian attems

initramfs-tools: support different compression tools in mkinitramfs

2010-04-04T03:50:34+00:00

this version uses /etc/initramfs-tools/initramfs.conf to determine the compression method, checks kernel and userspace support with fallback to gzip. Since LZO didnt work for me at all with 2.6.33 I left that out for now. (closes: #533903) [ minor changes in mkinitramfs code ] Signed-off-by: maximilian attems

update-initramfs: Default to not keep .bak backups

2010-03-24T02:06:00+00:00

we don't need to any more. TODO: lilo might still want .bak's. [ merge 0.92bubuntu9 + fix manpage note: indeed the precaution seems no longer needed these days, but is potentially harmful when /boot space is small. ] Signed-off-by: maximilian attems

Redefinde MODULES=most to not carry any fb driver per default.

2009-07-29T13:28:10+00:00

this allows for a much smaller initramfs and thus faster boot. Signed-off-by: maximilian attems

update initramfs.conf

2008-09-15T13:53:36+00:00

Now that d-i won't create /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/driver-policy in all cases, I think reference to is mostly useless.

initramfs.conf: Mention possible value overriding by d-i for example.

2008-09-12T14:34:12+00:00

Please mention in initramfs.conf that the values specified there can be overriden via /etc/mkinitramfs/conf.d. This is important since d-i will now use /etc/initramfs-tools/conf.d/driver-policy to set MODULES.

allow admin to set that an update-initramfs postinst call should update any known initramfs.
