[Bug 1254428] Re: update-initramfs breaks booting kernel

[syscon-hh]

Now I found the real brocken packages:

 * busybox-initramfs
 * busybox-static

both version of > 1:1.21.0-1ubuntu1 <

Downgrading to the former packages version > 1:1.20.0-8.1ubuntu1 < lets
boot the system without any malfunction.

In accordance with the date of installation of the latest busybox
packages approx. nov. 15th the failfunction couldn't be detected
directly due to the later installation / upgrade of an imagefile approx.
nov. 21st.

So I haven't any correlations indicating the real reason.

What I did:  Restoring a backup taken early november and updated all
relevant packages step by step to find out the troublemaker.
