Ok, I did a little bit more testing. Executing $ su # make-kpkg --initrd kernel_image --revision=pm.0 or make-kpkg --initrd kernel_image --revision=pm.0 --rootcmd fakeroot generates the correct postinst file with my $initrd = "YES"; # initrd kernel . But executing make-kpkg --initrd kernel_image --revision=pm.0 --rootcmd sudo generates my $initrd = ""; # initrd kernel as reported before. I have no knowledge of sudo, but it looks like the variables are not passed correctly or something. Maybe it should be documented that when fakeroot is available this should be the choice and generating initrd images does not work with sudo. Hope this helps. Paul
