236	unrecognizable initrd magic on openSuse 10.3	ppazera	Bruno Cornec	"proposed fix is to replace one line in /usr/sbin/mindi:

local lcMagicInitfs="" initramfs...""

more details:

was using v1.2.4-r1532 from mindi-1.2.4-1.suse10.2

and getting

FATAL ERROR. Filesystem UNSUPPORTED not supported for initrd image. Terminating.

log file:

...
Call GetInitrdFilesystemToUse() with parameter /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22.13-0.3-default to get filesystem to use for initrd.
  GetInitrdFilesystemToUse(): called with parameter: /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22.13-0.3-default.\n
  GetInitrdFilesystemToUse(): gzip magic found at lvOffset 8322.\n
  GetInitrdFilesystemToUse(): Filesytem to use for initrd is UNSUPPORTED.\n
FATAL ERROR. Filesystem UNSUPPORTED not supported for initrd image. Terminating.
...

then did:

dd ibs=1 skip=$lvOffset if=$lvKernelImage obs=1M 2>/dev/null | gunzip -c 2> /dev/null | strings > /tmp/mindi-unupported-magic

grep ramfs /tmp/mindi-unupported-magic

and the results were:

<6>Unpacking initramfs...
ramfs
ACPI: Override [%4.4s-%8.8s] from initramfs - tainting kernel

so it looks like "" initramfs..."" magic should cover both old and new signatures
