#67365 — Initramfs-tools boot issue with bad console

Hi Debian Kernel team, I'd like to discuss a long-term issue that was
reported in both Debian and Ubuntu. Booting a system with a bad console
may cause a boot loop condition on initram scripts, if an invalid
console output is set.

Recently there was two Debian bugs reported: [0] and [1] (the latter
reported by me, the former by Jonas). Also, I've proposed a simple fix
through the following merge request:
salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/initramfs-tools/-/merge_requests/30 .

Thanks in advance for the attention.
Cheers,


Guilherme

Thanks for your +1 there Michael! Do you know if there's a way to get
that merged? I'd like to follow the proper process and fix that on
Debian before Ubuntu.

Also, just for my knowledge for future submissions: is it better to
send a patch via email, as an attachment in a bug report message, than
a merge request in salsa? I'd like to follow the procedure that is
preferred by the maintainers.
Thanks,


Guilherme

I'm not sure if Ben is watching/noticing Salsa MRs, Ben?

Guilherme, you already added the patch to #962545 (excellent and
thanks :)), that's where Ben should notice it for sure. :)

I'm no longer active in the initramfs-tools maintenance, so I'll
leave that answer to Ben (and possible further/upcoming maintainers
of i-t).

Thanks a lot Mika! I'll try to add patches to BTS and Salsa, I think
this way is more easy for maintainers, to choose what they prefer
heheh
Cheers,


Guilherme
