[Bug 1079605] Re: Please sync with the latest 0.109 from Sid

[dino99]

Latest  Debian version:
http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/i/initramfs-
tools/current/changelog.html

So the latest stable package is the 0.109, which fix lot of issues since the actual used 0.103 into Raring.
The main issue i ALWAYS get with a cold boot is : "ramdisk : incomplete write" (which is affecting lot of users, while googling around). So some default initramfs.conf settings sould be changed now too, as:
- using "xz" instead of "gzip"
- using "dep" instead of "most"

As that package (& the like) is important for booting, a sync with
Debian Sid should be done before Raring freeze.

Title:
  Please sync with the latest 0.109 from Sid

Status in “initramfs-tools” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  With Raring, initramfs-tools is at 0.103 version, while 0.109 is
  available into Sid .

   The main issue actually into RR is with nvidia driver, failing with
  error:

  WARNING: could not open /tmp/mkinitramfs_kG4Wwd/lib/modules/3.6.6-030606-generic/modules.builtin: No such file or directory
  (reported as : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/initramfs-tools/+bug/1075422 )

  As a result, after nvidia installation, i can boot only in low graphic
  mode. This seems not affecting all nvidia users.

  If that issue is confirmed by the main devs (see bug #1075422) , that
  bug is still not set with "high" priority (very annoying)

  From 0.103 to 0.109 , lot of bugfixes have been made; so i hope 0.109
  will be merged asap into RR.
