Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.06-4
Severity: normal
lvm2create_initrd is missing a few things for it to work:
1. It doesn't actually include the busybox binary. I had to copy this
into the initrd myself. Since everything in /bin is a symlink to it,
this is critical.
2. It doesn't copy any of the libraries busybox itself needs:
libcrypt.so.1
libm.so.6
libc.so.6
3. The /sbin/init script it generates has a #!/bin/bash at the top,
and thus there should be a /bin/bash -> /bin/sh link within the initrd
as well.
I had to modify my initrd to make all of these changes before the system
would even get to calling the init inside initrd without kernel
panicing.
