Package: initramfs-tools
Version: 0.148.3+nmu1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
-----------------------------------------------------------
commit 0df1765e902e56d9698beacc1cc056f327ed58c2
Merge: f740273 19b85a5
Author: Ben Hutchings <benh@debian.org>
Date: Tue Mar 25 23:58:06 2025 +0000
Merge branch 'block-modules' into 'debian/latest'
Filter block kernel modules by symbol regex from dracut
See merge request kernel-team/initramfs-tools!149
------------------------------------------------------------
Has effectively halted reiser4 software format release number (SFRN)
4.0.2 on a root '/' partition from being able to boot into new Trixie
installation via Debian-Installer (d-i).
Additionally, if in an existing system with a root '/' partition
formatted in reiser4, initramfs-tools v0.148.3 and v0.150 leave the
system unbootable *if* manually applying either of referenced
initramfs-tools versions.
Both versions of initramfs-tools generate similar output during the
Debian Trixie boot phase (last fragment):
..
Begin: Running /scripts/local-block ... done.
Begin: Running /scripts/local-block ... done.
Begin: Running /scripts/local-block ... done.
done.
Gave up waiting for root file system device. Common problems:
- Boot args (cat /proc/cmdline)
- Check rootdelay= (did the system wait long enough?)
- Missing modules (cat /proc/modules; ls /dev)
ALERT! PARTUUID=STUV-WXYZ does not exist. Dropping to a shell!
BusyBox v1.37.0 (Debian 1:1.37.0-6+b3) built-in shell (ash)

(initramfs)
---END of FRAGMENT----
< https://metztli.it/initramfs-tools >
On the other hand, during a couple of upgrades from Bookworm to Trixie,
where the root '/' file system is reiser4 and enabling the Debian
upgrading routine by changing in /etc/apt/sources.list the relevant
strings from bookworm to trixie, reboots proceed normally, as when the
system(s) were booting in Bookworm.
The last reiser4 bootable initramfs-tools was v0.146, i.e., when the
above referenced commit had not been applied/merged.
Stripping away that commit in hook-functions, and building
initramfs-tools v0.148.3+nmu1, then manually installing nmu1
version via a rescue mode operation fixes the reiser4 booting issue.

Current Debian Trixie packaging for Dracut is version 106-6 and I took that source, modified a couple of files by adding reiser4 on relevant lines; the initrd.img- it produced booted my reiser4 -formatted root '/' partitions on the very first try. On the other hand, I have expended much time but not had any luck with initramfs-tools- v0.146+, v0.148, nor v0.150 (this last suggested/required by report-bug prior to submitting bug report), which introduce and carry on that hybrid commit of reference -- unless, of course, I strip away that commit which caused the regression.

Hello Waldi- "To get it fixed, please provide a patch. Please note that reverting is not a suitable fix." Not using _call_dracut_install -s (symbol filtering) with drivers/scsi , taking out drivers/nvme and drivers/ata from the variable $block_modules works. Attached for Debian consideration is a patch for initramfs-tools v0.150 ; works in older (scsi) and newer (nvme) systems.

Hi, I learned that Metztli has released a Reiser4 version of Debian 13 via GitHub and their repo, and I noticed/find this bug report. I use that file system. Thanks, and I hope you guys accept the patch available.
