I recently had to reinstall my system. So I’m redoing all the gpu passthrough stuff. Following the guide I created the /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/bind_vfio.sh script.
But that seems to make update-initramfs hang.

root@monolith:/boot/efi/loader/entries# update-initramfs -u

This is all from today. But I had the update-initramfs -u running all night long…
When I look at other files in /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts, I see /etc/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/lvm-workaround has permissions of -rwxr-xr-t.
I tried setting the script to those permissions, but it didn’t help.
I also tried the 755 permissions mentioned in the guide first.
Using the -v flag gives a LOT of output. It stalls here:
Calling hook dmsetup
Calling hook klibc-utils
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-bottom/ORDER ignored: not executable
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-premount/ORDER ignored: not executable
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-block/ORDER ignored: not executable
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/ORDER ignored: not executable
/usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/init-top/brltty ignored: not executable
I’m assuming that’s about where it would grab the scripts out of etc.
I tried placing bind_vfio.sh in the /usr dir, but it didn’t help.
Any ideas?
