"Experience is one thing you can't get for nothing." - Oscar Wilde * scripts/local-top/lvm: Reduce -- to - in VG strings for feeding to vgchange. (Ubuntu: #13387) * update-initramfs: New file * debian/dirs: Add /var/lib/initramfs-tools * hooks/evms: New file * scripts/local-top: New file. * debian/control: Bump klibc depends to 1.0.14-1ubuntu2 for jfs support * hook-scripts (manual_add_modules): Don't do unnecessary depmod (dep_add_modules): No need for a sleep 2 here. Thanks to Matt Zimmmerman for noticing these! * scripts/functions: Attempt resume before loading USB or Network modules to avoid resume issues with USB. Thanks to Matthew Garrett for this patch! * scripts/functions (ide_boot_events): Always load ide-generic before going further. This allows us to catch any hidden IDE controllers that might not otherwise get found. * initramfs.conf.5: New file * debian/initramfs-tools.manpages: Install it. Thanks to maximilian attems for the manpage! * hook-functions (auto_add_modules): Add mptscsih (Ubuntu #15406) Thanks to Jesper Krogh for the bug report! * debian/dirs: Add etc/mkinitramfs/hooks, move all scripts subdirs into etc/mkinitramfs/scripts. * mkinitramfs: Set the umask. Copy the scripts from /etc/mkinitramfs/scripts into the image. Make sure that modules file lists is actually a regular file. * init: Use ${rootmnt} instead of hardcoded /root, use mount -n Fix typo. * hook-functions (catenate_cpiogz): Add sanity check. (add_modules_from_file): Document, quote variable, add warning. * docs/example_hook: Update Thanks to Karl Hegbloom for these previous 5 patches! * init: Create /var/lock on the initramfs Thanks to Jerry Haltom for noticing this! * debian/dirs: rename to ... * debian/initramfs-tools.dirs: ... this. * scripts/functions (scsi_boot_events): Don't attempt to look at ${device}/type if it doesn't actually exist. -- Jeff Bailey <jbailey@ubuntu.com> Wed, 14 Sep 2005 14:12:24 -0400
