Bug#492560: :(

[Sheridan Hutchinson]

I'm using Lenny and yesterday (21/09/08) a new kernel increment (in
AMD64) became
available for installation.

The packages were upgraded and the machine rebooted, to these error
messages:

/scripts/local-top/lm2: 67: tr: not found
/scripts/local-top/lm2: 67: sed: not found
/scripts/local-top/lm2: 67: sed not found
/scripts/local-top/lm2: 68: tr: not found
/scripts/local-top/lm2: 68: sed not found
/scripts/local-top/lm2: 68: sed not found

I'm then prompted for the passphrase for sda3_crypt and it reports that
the key slot 0 is unlocked.

Then this comes up:
/scripts/local-top/cryptroot: 1: cannot open /dev/mapper/D2-root: No
such file

It will then hang on

Begin: Waiting for root file system ...

A few minutes later it will drop to an initramfs shell.

Thankfully I did a full disk clone the previous day so I restored from
that as this was on a production machine that I needed running.

It does mean however that I won't risk installing the updated kernel
packages until a fix becomes available, although the insurance of a
backup certainly paid off :)

Any idea what might be the cause of this?
