It won't work because the initramfs contains the UUID of your root partition. UUID is a unique ID. You have two options: 1) Flash Debian installer and use that to access your system on disk and flash the old kernel using "flash-kernel <version>"; see http://www.cyrius.com/journal/debian/installer-flash-kernel 2) Copy the old kernel/ramdisk from disk and generate a recovery image from them. As I mentioned, this is currently not documented on my page and I'm travelling at the moment. I might be able to write some instructions next week but you could just go with option 1). -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
