[Bug 187282] Re: update-initramfs -u fails with "WARNING: /boot is ro mounted." even if /boot is rw

[Agostino Russo]

** Also affects: initramfs-tools (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Description changed:

  That is due to the check for /boot ro status, since they look for the
  substring "ro" within /proc/mounts options column, which is also
- triggered by "group_id".
+ triggered by "group_id" (among others).
  
  ro_boot_check()
  {
          [ -r /proc/mounts ] || return 0
          boot_opts=$(awk '/boot/{if (match($4, /ro/) && $2 == "/boot")
                  print "ro"}' /proc/mounts)
  ....
  
  
  workaround: 
  
  update-initramfs -c -k $(uname -r)
