  • Bug#1063142: tiny-initramfs: Fails to boot with compressed modules

    From Victor Westerhuis@21:1/5 to All on Mon Feb 5 10:40:02 2024
    Source: tiny-initramfs
    Severity: grave
    Justification: renders package unusable
    X-Debbugs-Cc: linux@packages.debian.org

    Hash: SHA256

    Since kernel version 6.6.3-1~exp1 modules are compressed with xz. Tiny-initramfs does not decompress modules before loading them,
    rendering systems that need modules to boot unbootable.

    Because the initramfs is compressed anyway, I think the easiest fix
    would be for mktirfs to decompress the kernel modules when copying them.
