From ad976437738c67751d97732e12ad5df54b6b518f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Laager Date: Mon, 16 Dec 2019 18:54:51 -0600 Subject: [PATCH] initramfs: setup keymapping and video for prompts From Steve Langasek : > The poorly-named 'FRAMEBUFFER' option in initramfs-tools controls > whether the console_setup and plymouth scripts are included and used > in the initramfs. These are required for any initramfs which will be > prompting for user input: console_setup because without it the user's > configured keymap will not be set up, and plymouth because you are > not guaranteed to have working video output in the initramfs without > it (e.g. some nvidia+UEFI configurations with the default GRUB > behavior). > The zfs initramfs script may need to prompt the user for passphrases > for encrypted zfs datasets, and we don't know definitively whether > this is the case or not at the time the initramfs is constructed (and > it's difficult to dynamically populate initramfs config variables > anyway), therefore the zfs-initramfs package should just set > FRAMEBUFFER=yes in a conf snippet the same way that the > cryptsetup-initramfs package does > (/usr/share/initramfs-tools/conf-hooks.d/cryptsetup). https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zfs-linux/+bug/1856408 Reviewed-by: Brian Behlendorf Reviewed-by: Kjeld Schouten Signed-off-by: Steve Langasek Signed-off-by: Richard Laager Closes #9723 --- contrib/initramfs/conf-hooks.d/zfs | 7 +++++++ 1 file changed, 7 insertions(+) diff --git a/contrib/initramfs/conf-hooks.d/zfs b/contrib/initramfs/conf-hooks.d/zfs index 29950cac04..b86d36223e 100644 --- a/contrib/initramfs/conf-hooks.d/zfs +++ b/contrib/initramfs/conf-hooks.d/zfs @@ -1,2 +1,9 @@ # Force the inclusion of Busybox in the initramfs.
