  • Bug#262672: mkinitrd: cpio: modprobe.conf: No such file or directory

    From Loic Minier@1:229/2 to All on Wed Aug 11 16:40:22 2004

    reopen 262672
    reassign 262672 initrd-tools
    thanks

    This bug seems to belong to initrd-tools, sorry for the mess, it wasn't
    that obvious.

    Made a "dpkg-install-kernel-image.strace", which is the result of:
    strace -f -o dpkg-install-kernel-image.strace \
    dpkg -i kernel-image-2.6.7-bee-2_1_i386.deb

    You should see that the cpio error happens in a process launched by
    mkinitrd (grep your mkinitrd for cpio).

    Manoj Srivastava: I saw in the strace that depmod is called with a "-a"
    flag which is undocumented, is this correct?

    Marco d'Itri <[email protected]>: next time, Cc me ;)

    PS: attached is only the output of the commands, the strace is at:

    I think this is fixed in initrd-tools 0.1.73 in unstable; can you
    confirm?

    Indeed, just got the package, and the cpio lines are gone. Thanks for
    solving.
