initramfs-tools (0.94) unstable; urgency=low To improve boot speed and avoid some complications, video drivers are no longer included in the initramfs by default (MODULES=most). -- maximilian attems Mon, 05 Apr 2010 08:10:34 +0200 initramfs-tools (0.76) unstable; urgency=low This release features nfs auto detection in the initramfs. The boot paramaters are parsed according to the linux source Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt and more specifically Documentation/nfsroot.txt. The initramfs-tools(8) manpage documents the parsed boot parameter. Note that the undocumented and non compliant nfsoption bootarg got dropped. -- maximilian attems Wed, 23 Aug 2006 08:47:26 +0200 initramfs-tools (0.61) unstable; urgency=low This release moves the initramfs-tools confdir from /etc/mkinitramfs to /etc/initramfs-tools. Packages are encouraged to ship files as scripts under /usr/share/initramfs-tools. Local tests behaved fine, but be warned that this could potentially cause boot troubles on upgrade. -- maximilian attems Wed, 21 Jun 2006 09:16:01 +0200 initramfs-tools (0.10) breezy; urgency=low This release includes hardware auto detection in the initramfs. This means two things in particular that are important: 1) the resulting initramfs will be huge. Like 10 megs huge. I will shrink it down once it's correct. If you're on an arch that doesn't like >4mb initramfs', then this won't boot. 2) Your network drivers are loaded in the initramfs, so hotplug won't see a network event, so ifup won't be run. This will be fixed shortly in hotplug. -- Jeff Bailey Fri, 17 Jun 2005 15:17:06 +0000
