Bug 289196 – sys-apps/kexec-tools: /etc/init.d/kexec problem while determining valid initrd image

• Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Greg Dziegielewski 2009-10-15 12:09:14 UTC]

/etc/init.d/kexec/ do not check for custom initrd in the ${BOOTPART}

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. rename initrd file to some non standard name (e.g.: "initramfs" - the default name of initrd from genkernel
2. check the ${initrdopt} in load_image() function while /etc/init.d/kexec start


Actual Results:  
${initrdopt} is empty.

Expected Results:  
${initrdopt} should contain "--initrd=/boot/initramfs"

Closing as worksforme since the current init script should work fine.

You should set INITRD="/boot/initramfs-file-name" instead of INITRD="initramfs-file-name" in /etc/conf.d/kexec.
