[Bug 31126] Re: Doesn't check for failure due to full filesystem

[Sascha Silbe]

Just happened for me again, too:

[...]
Setting up linux-image-2.6.15-27-386 (2.6.15-27.48) ...

gzip: stdout: No space left on device
Searching for GRUB installation directory ... found: /boot/grub
[...]
root at caravan:~# gzip -t /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-27-386 

gzip: /boot/initrd.img-2.6.15-27-386: unexpected end of file


So now the default grub entry points to an unbootable kernel. :(
If it's hard to fix initramfs-tools, please at least use "gzip -t" to check if the initrd has been successfully created.
