initramfs-tools (0.40ubuntu30) dapper; urgency=low
* This release brought to you by Fujitsu hard drives, which have forced
me to rewrite all my most recent initramfs-tools changes from memory.
* Include arcmsr module in the scsi module list (launchpad.net/40075)
* Abstract out the kernel minversion checking stuff into the function
library, so we can reuse it to check minversion requirements for hook
scripts as well (such as udev, which requires >= 2.6.15 in dapper)
* Bump the kernel minversion to 2.6.15 on hppa and ia64, since they used
initrd-tools with their 2.6.12 kernels in breezy, not initramfs-tools.
* If mkinitramfs fails due to minversion not being met, don't bail out
of update-initramfs, but just exit 0, so upgrades don't halt on it.
* Conditionalise the use of lvm and md in mkinitramfs so it's a no-op if
you don't have those packages installed, but allows for smooth upgrades
if you have older versions that don't ship their own hooks yet.
* Make prereqs conditional on the script/hook actually existing. From
now on, this means that 'PREREQ="udev"' means "run udev first, iff it
happens to be installed". Having the files exist on the filesystem if
you have a HARD dependency should be enforced with package dependencies.
* Add ohci1394 and sbp2 to the scsi module list (launchpad.net/37479)
* Move framebuffer setup from usplash to scripts/local-top/framebuffer
so that people booting with vga=1234 but no splash will still get a
framebuffer instead of a useless black console (launchpad.net/27669)
